Anne E Turner Suit Therapy Summary

It is a procedure than can help anyone, not just people with brain disorders. Dr. Bradstreet's own son who is Autistic, with the help of this treatment, has been able to stay current and progress at a normal rate in school. This new treatment can be used for ADHD, downs syndrome patients and even stroke victims. Jeanette Eddy, Osceola County Schools District Counselor and Stetson University Professor, volunteered as a test subject to prove the treatment is not only safe for the children in her school district, but that individuals with otherwise "normal" brain function could also benefit from this treatment. Ms. Eddy (personal communication, March 03, 2003) "I'm excited that we have technology out there that is completely safe and can help anyone, not just individuals with psychological problems, but anyone to increase brain function." This is an exciting advancement in the treatment of ADHD and shows tremendous promise in the treatment of ADHD and other afflictions.

The interventions that I observed was the use of contrast bath for the Chronic Regional pain, E-stim, Ultrasound, hot packs for the pain management as well as to decrease the stiffness and swelling. The activity that I observed were ROM arc to increase movement in the bilateral upper extremities, sand box to increase core strength, Theraputty, peg boards, cognition pattern puzzles, visual perception puzzles, arm bike (rollator), bolts and screw for fine motor coordination, mini mental test to intact orientation as well as memory. I observed how therapist were teaching the patients to increase independence while transferring from bed to wheelchair to commode. I observed the use of adaptive devices to make the patient as functional as possible with their daily activities such as long handled shower brush, Reacher, sock aid, leg lifter, adaptive heavy weighted utensils and many

During the course of research, there were many commonalities found in the literature surrounding Wilbargers’ Deep Pressure and Proprioceptive Technique. The majority of the studies that focused on the treatment of children with a primary diagnosis of sensory defensiveness. Because occupational therapists use a more holistic approach when treating clients, the perspectives of the parents and caregivers were given great value in their studies. For one study, a major instrument used to collect data was a parent/caregiver questionnaire (Bhoti & Brown, 2013). The questions provided researchers with information all of the following regarding inconvenience that the intervention may have caused, impact on daily routine, empowerment,

Occupational Therapy is a growing field; one that is constantly changing as technology becomes more advanced. There are different techniques and methods used in this field, as well as the field of physical therapy, in order assist in client advancement and growth. The traditional method being discussed is Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation also known as PNF and the contemporary technique is Kinesio Taping. These techniques and methods came about for the same purpose, and that is to ultimately help both the Practitioners and of course clients they work with.

Developmental Therapy Developmental therapy is a profession that precisely looks at how children develop during the most substantial period of development from birth through 5 years (Health School Guide, 2016). Developmental therapists measure a child’s global development and identify specific areas of need and strength (Health School Guide, 2016). The aspects that developmental therapist look for in children include cognitive skills, language and communication, social-emotional skills and behavior, gross and fine motor skills, and self-help skills (Health School Guide, 2016). Furthermore, they develop play activities aimed to help a child overcome their encounters and improve the quality of their interactions in order to help them gain

Occupational therapist assesses the child’s movements and coordination and recommends the child's individual needs that can help with motor impairment. For example, activities may include stretching and constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), which is treatment intervention that forces the use of the affected side of the body while restraining the unaffected side by using casts, gloves, mittens, and slings while the child is encouraged to receptively and intensively use the affected limb. Moreover, occupational therapist assesses the child’s cognitive functioning by testing the cerebral activities such as reasoning, attention, and memory. For a child with

Cerebral palsy is a disease of development of movement and posture which cause limit activity and disturbance in motor and sensory development in a child. A boy of age 5, is suffering from Cerebral Palsy. He has difficulty in walking due to neuromuscular impairment, difficulty in swallowing due to alteration in oral motor function, delayed growth and development due to decreased caloric intake. I will educate parents to provide a well-balanced diet, how to use an assistive device like a wheelchair, ankle-foot orthosis, and teach them to feed slowly and keep semi-upright position of a child during eating and drinking (Perry, 2013, p.1726).

Suffering, a Gateway to Happiness According to Marcel Proust, a famous French novelist of the 18th century, “We are healed from suffering only by experiencing it to the full”. Every human being on Earth will inevitably suffer. This is especially evident in William Bradford’s book “Of Plymouth Plantation,” Jonathan Edwards’ sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” and Anne Bradstreet’s poem “For Deliverance From a Fever.” Bradford recounts the perilous journey of the English pilgrims to now-America, while Edwards depicts the consequences of disbelief in God.

Sensory processing activities: Jumping on the trampoline and crashing on the pillows 10x10. Wilbarger's brushing protocol (providing deep pressure, tactile input, joint compression and oral swipes and massage using MORE protocol), weight-bearing activity, free play activity, standing activity, sit-down activity and obstacle course to increase concentration, attention span, body awareness, fine and gross motor skills, UE strength, bilateral coordination and activity tolerance to facilitate therapeutic activities.

Bethany’s Equine and Aquatic Therapy Services, Incorporated, more widely-known as BEATS, Inc., is a treatment facility that utilizes both hippotherapy and aquatic therapy for children with a variety of disabilities (BEATS, n.d.). Aquatic therapy employs the use of water as a means to treat various conditions by aiding in reducing chronic pain and enabling a wider range of motion (Oeverman, n.d.). Hippotherapy is a lesser known method of treating mental, physical, and sensory disabilities by using horses. When ridden, the movements of the horses’ spine and hips mimic the movements of walking or running for those who cannot. Even when stationary, the horses’ consistent breathing stimulates the muscles of the individual riding that cannot be as readily stimulated with the use of any other mechanism (B. Nugent, personal communication, February 25, 2016). This unique form of therapy enables individuals to work on balance and strength. Above all, hippotherapy is incredibly beneficial in enhancing the motivation of disabled clients. Because the children are used to clinical settings, they do not realize that the session is a part of their treatment; instead, they are simply having fun. As the occupational therapist walks close by, often times engaging the child with the use of props, photographs, or games, they are still able to work with the child in the areas of need (Applegate, 2011). BEATS incorporates these two methods as a way of engaging disabled children and efficiently
