School of Occupational Therapy Molly McEwen, Director Sections Admission to the Professional Program Prerequisites Financial Aids Occupational Therapy is the health and human service profession that focuses on human occupation: it offers vital insight that can help people live more productively. The term "occupation" often suggests the use of work or vocational activities as treatment, but in fact human occupation includes a broader spectrum of daily life activities including self care, work, and play/leisure. An occupational therapist uses a rich array of meaningful daily activities of self-care, work, and play/leisure to adapt, maintain, or improve an individual's ability to achieve self-fulfillment. Occupational therapy practitioners study how people occupy their time at various ages and developmental stages of their lives. The occupational therapist considers the individual as a whole-the integration of mind, body and spirit. Occupational therapy focuses on the achievement of complete physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being through engagement in motivationally meaningful and personally relevant activity or occupation.

Desikachar described it thus: "Like everything, Yoga must be presented intelligently. It should be spoken of carefully and offered with due regard for the aspirations, needs and cultural background of the individual. This must be achieved in stages. The appropriate application of Yoga - involving physical exercises, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation, lifestyle, food, studies and so forth - is, for me, what is represented by the word Viniyoga." Viniyoga in Todays Society The Viniyoga approach is to teach Yoga appropriate to every body and every situation. Teaching Yoga from the Viniyoga perspective respects differences in ages, gender, mental and physical health, culture, religion, philosophy, occupation and interest.

Home Health Info Therapies : Myotherapy Printer Friendly Version Myotherapy What Is It? How Does It Work? What You Can Expect Health Benefits ... Cautions What Is It? Myotherapy ("myo" is from the Latin for muscle) is a specialized form of muscle massage and stretching that uses deep manual pressure on specific spots on the body to release trigger points. Knots of tension, trigger points usually occur within a taut band of skeletal muscle or in the muscle's fascia (connective tissue). Because they are painful upon compression, they can "trigger," or cause, pain in other parts of the body. Myotherapy aims to relax these muscle knots and quickly relieve muscle-related pain. Myotherapy grew out of myofascial trigger point therapy, which was pioneered in the early 1940s by Janet Travell, M.D., the White House physician to John F. Kennedy, and Dr. David G. Simons. Dr. Travell's therapy (which she used to treat Kennedy's back pain) involved injecting saline and a local anaesthetic (procaine), directly into the painful trigger points. She would follow the injections with a series of gentle stretches and a coolant spray. In 1976, Bonnie Prudden, a leading authority on exercise and health, came upon what she later called myotherapy rather serendipitously. While assisting a Massachusetts doctor in preparing a patient for injection therapy, she unintentionally pressed too hard on one of the patient's trigger points. Almost immediately the patient felt much better. Prudden began to theorize that trigger points could be released simply by applying manual pressure. She was soon on the phone to her friend Travell, who encouraged her to experiment further with her theory. Prudden's efforts were met with great success as many patients reported dramatic improvements in a shorter time than with the invasive injections.

Will a service dog or service dog trainer be certified through SDES? How is training a service dog different than training any other dog? Why can't any dog trainer train a service dog? One difference between training a service dog and any other dog is the consideration required for the dog's handler. Trainers who are great at teaching dogs may need to further develop their people-oriented skills. This need becomes even more pronounced when the people they are serving have varying requirements associated with varying abilities. Few dog trainers are familiar with the wide variety of disabilities and how those disabilities impact a person's activities of daily living. Most dog trainers are also unfamiliar with the legal aspects of service dogs. It is important to give the handler of the service dog the skills to fully benefit from the dog, and this is mostly people training, not dog training. Beyond disability-related knowledge and skills, many dog trainers are unfamiliar with the best methods to train dogs to perform specific tasks. SDES will teach trainers specific steps involved with training assistance-type tasks.

Where Is the Public Health Pharmacist? Patricia J. Bush and Keith W. Johnson Department of Community and Family Medicine, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington DC 20007 and Drug Information Division, United Stares Pharmacopeial Convention Inc., Rockville MD 20852 Recently, a member of the governing board of the American Public Health Association (APHA) spoke to a graduate seminar in pharmacy administration about the activities of the APHA. "How many pharmacists are members?" queried one of the students. About 120 (0.4 percent) of a total membership of 30,000 was the response. Following the seminar, the questioner wondered aloud why so few pharmacists belonged. "Well," said another student, "There aren’t any public health pharmacists are there?" Of course the student was right; there is no group of persons known as public health pharmacists as there are public health physicians and public health nurses, who with PhDs form the bulk of membership in the APHA. Nevertheless, there may be pharmacists engaged in public health activities who, for one reason or another, have not joined the APHA, or who perhaps do not recognize they are doing public health. Moreover, it may be reasonable to shrug one’s shoulders and say. "So what? Who needs public health pharmacists anyway?" It will be argued here that some, but not nearly enough, pharmacists are now engaged in public health activities. Furthermore, both the public and the profession of pharmacy benefit from public health pharmacists, but pharmacy education has failed to recognize the potential for pharmacists in public health as well as to acquaint pharmacy students and practitioners with role models in public health.

Without it, no other life goal can be successfully achieved." ( Student Standards First published in 1995, National Health Education Standards: Achieving Health Literacy ( ) describes the national standards for school health education (K-12) and provides the rationale and philosophy for the development of those standards. The national health education standards also provide a framework for schools to create instructional programs that will enable students to become healthy and capable of academic success. What should students who complete an educational experience know and be able to do in support of their own health and the health of their friends and family? That is the central question the national health education standards strive to address. It is also the central question each school district needs to answer when a health education curriculum is being developed or selected for the district. Another way to express this challenge is to discuss the development of health literacy. Health Literacy is defined as "the capacity of an individual to obtain, interpret, and understand basic health information and services and the competence to use such information and services in ways which are health-enhancing" (

Career Awareness: A New Fundamental for Elementary Education The value of teaching career awareness at the high school and middle school levels has long been known. Now, many school districts are beginning to realize the value of incorporating it into elementary curriculums as well. But with teachers' time already stretched to the limit, how can they possibly teach career awareness without sacrificing time spent on basic subjects? The answer: Incorporate a Career Trek kit into the curriculum. Career Trek is a multimedia career awareness program for grades four through six. It provides 190 occupation cards and 60 classroom activities that can be adapted to various teaching situations. The kit also comes with software that allows students to tour a 'neighborhood' and visit people in various occupations, or to solve 'Case Book' problems. Through their explorations of the cards and software, students not only learn about a multitude of occupations, they also learn self-awareness, problem solving, and listening and comprehension skills. Phyllis Nichols, who's been an elementary school counselor the past 14 years, has used Career Trek since its first version was introduced in 1992. With the recent release of a completely redesigned Career Trek kit, she's even more enthusiastic about the program.

Español Italiano Português Français ... Deutsch During the Soviet occupation, we were distributing anti-Soviet and anti-puppets leaflets, staging demonstrations and strikes in schools and universities, instigating the women to contribute in resistance war in any possible way despite the opposition from the fundamentalists, running schools, a hospital etc. for refugees, publishing and distributing "Payam-e-Zan" (Women's Message) and so on. It was in the course of such activities that a number of our activists were arrested in Kabul underwent horribly tortures and some of them languished about 8 years in the notorious prisons, and our founding leader Meena and her two aides were murdered at the hands of the KHAD agents and their fundamentalist accomplices in 1987. After the fall of the puppet government and the invasion of the fundamentalists bands into Kabul, RAWA focused more and more on women's rights, human rights and exposition of the fundamentalists barbaric actions. Our activities: 1) In Pakistan: Due to RAWA's principled anti-fundamentalist stand, our social work amongst refugee Afghan women is an uphill struggle. Despite numerous difficulties we have regular contact with women in different camps of Pakistan. We happily note that the fundamentalists' endeavors in this regard have been vastly counter-productive as a great number of women from refugee camps in Quetta and Peshawar approach us for comfort, aid and support. However, the aid and support we can give them are mostly moral, as facing grave financial problems, little material help can be provided to them.

60. Occupational Therapy Profession therapists are health professionals who use occupation, meaning activities you'llmost likely direct the activities of an or other program in a health facility http://www.utmem.edu/occ_therapy/WhatIs/what.htm

What is Occupational Therapy, anyway? Occupational therapy is a health and rehabilitation profession. Its practitioners provide services to individuals of all ages who have physical, developmental, emotional, and social deficits and who, because of these conditions, need specialized assistance in learning skills to enable them to lead independent, productive, and satisfying lives. When a patient is referred for treatment, the occupational therapist assesses that individual's ability to carry out necessary developmental, physical, social and emotional functions in relation to his or her prognosis. The assessment and an analysis of the individual's personal goals and the demands of his or her environment are reviewed and become the basis of an individualized treatment program. During the course of treatment, the occupational therapist frequently reassesses the patient's status and coordinates the occupational therapy program with that of the other members of the health care team. In addition, treatment objectives are identified and coordinated with the patient, family members, and appropriate community resources to assure maximum independence, productivity and satisfaction. Occupational therapists are health professionals who use occupation, meaning activities with specific goals, in helping people of all ages prevent, lessen, or overcome disabilities. The activities may be as basic as bathing, dressing, or as complex as operating a computer with modified control switches. Today's occupational therapists are working in clinical practice, administration, education, research, private practice, and many other areas.
