Library of Congress Catalogue Card Number 00-111038 ISBN 1-892132-19-2 Preface This glossary of recreation therapy and occupational therapy terms is meant to serve as a study guide for students and a reference book for practitioners. It may also be a valuable aid to those preparing for comprehensive examinations, such as national certification exams or graduate school comprehensive exams. Recreation therapy and occupational therapy encompass a wide scope of activity. Therefore, I have attempted to be eclectic in developing the glossary in order to reflect a full range of approaches to these professions. I would like to thank my colleagues, Professors Youngkhill Lee, Ph.D., CTRS, and Bryan McCormick, Ph.D., CTRS, for their thoughtful reviews of the glossary. I would also like to thank Karen Scott, M.S., OTR, of Bloomington Hospital, for her thorough review of the glossary and Professor Celestine Hamant, M.S., OTR, SAOTA , of Indiana University, for identifying historical figures in occupational therapy. While using this glossary, should you have suggestions to improve it please let me hear from you. David R.

Reforming Recreation Abstract A college campus is always in motion, and its students are rarely still. In this surrogate village, certain buildings have only a particular set of uses and users, so students are constantly moving around to find the av rious places, spaces, and faces that offer them the knowledge, rest, sustenance, and entertainment they need—ideally a little bit of each, conveniently offered in various locations, throughout their day.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 31 APPENDIX 35 Schedule • 3 6 BIBLIOGRAPHY 38 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION "An organic disability becomes an actual disability only when the individual senses a defect and feels a consciousness of that defect reflected in his environment."^ If we look around us, we see many fine persons who have some physical handicap which we fail to note after a first acquaintance because their engaging personalities erase their physiques from our minds. If we acquaint ourselves with the childhood of these individuals, we would perhaps find that they as children received the kind of love, attention and understanding which enabled them to take advantage of opportunities and substitute for handicaps. At one time or another, most normal children go through a period when they feel lonely, bitter and suspicious because of physical attributes which make them appear different from other children - a long nose, chubbiness, gawkiness or large ears. The personalities of these children are not permanently damaged, however, because these handicaps are not sufficient to cause continuous frustration, or because the children, in time, acquire a sense of values in which slight differences do not matter.2 ^Georgia Ball, "Case Work With Crippled Children," The Family.
  • Understanding Inpatient Brain Injury Rehabilitation

    Understanding Inpatient Brain Injury Rehabilitation

    Understanding Inpatient Brain Injury Rehabilitation At the 18-bed Brain Injury Recovery Center (BIRC) at Penn Rehab, we help patients after they have been discharged from acute care, but before they are ready to return home. Our Brain Injury Recovery Center patients come from all walks of life and have experienced variety of conditions. Everyday we call attention to strategies to help prevent brain injury, advocate for the rights of those living with brain injury, and honor those who have traveled the long road to recovery following brain injury. As a Certified Brain Injury Specialist, I’ve walked that road with my patients, and believe me, it is a long one. At Penn Rehab, therapists make a big effort to get to the core of who that person is and we try to let that come through no matter what. If we can let that shine through and design interventions around what the core of that person is, then we can bring them back even when they have limitations once their inner self has emerged. Coaching is being able to see the big picture when the player doesn’t always. Through inpatient rehabilitation, people who have experienced a brain injury work alongside an entire team dedicated to helping them regain their independence so that they can return home and go back to doing the things they love. Our patients are beginning to respond to their environments and are on the road to recovery from conditions such as: Concussion Contusion Complicated Stroke Cerebral Hemorrhage Traumatic Brain Injury Spontaneous Hemorrhage Brain Tumor Anoxic Encephalopathy From the staff providing around-the-clock care on the unit, to the equipment used with patients, to the layout of the unit, the BIRC is designed to meet the unique cognitive, behavioral, medical, and mobility needs of patients following brain injury.

    CASE NO. 2014 CR 00368 Vs. : Judge Mcbride ADAM

    COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO STATE OF OHIO : Plaintiff : CASE NO. 2014 CR 00368 vs. : Judge McBride ADAM PATRICK CHRISTMAN : DECISION/ENTRY Defendant : Carol A. Rowe, assistant prosecuting attorney for the State of Ohio, 76 S. Riverside Drive, 2nd Floor, Batavia, Ohio 45103. Rapp Law Office, Joshua R. Crousey, counsel for the defendant Adam Patrick Christman, One E. Main Street, Amelia, Ohio 45102. This case came before the court for trial on January 20, 2015. At the conclusion of the trial, the court took the issues raised at trial under advisement. Upon consideration of the record of the proceeding, the evidence presented for the court’s consideration, the oral arguments of counsel, and the applicable law, the court now renders this written decision. The defendant is charged in a one-count indictment with Gross Sexual Imposition in violation of R.C. 2907.05(A)(1), a felony of the fourth degree. 1 FINDINGS OF FACT On June 11, 2014, Kimberly Barber took her daughter and the defendant Adam Christman’s son to vacation bible school. Around noon that day, Barber picked the two children up from the church and drove to the defendant’s house. The defendant’s son exited the car and ran inside the house, yelling to his father that he was home, and Barber followed him into the house. The defendant came from the hallway into the front room of the house and Barber handed the defendant his son’s papers from the bible school. Barber bent down and took off the VBS T-shirt the defendant’s son was wearing because Barber took the shirts to and from the church.
  • The FACTS About the Sex Ed Mandate Bill SB 2128: “An Act Relative to Healthy Youth”

    The FACTS About the Sex Ed Mandate Bill SB 2128: “An Act Relative to Healthy Youth”

    The FACTS about the Sex Ed Mandate Bill SB 2128: “An Act Relative to Healthy Youth” This bill needlessly eliminates existing local controls over sex education curricula, exposing young children to inappropriate and offensive sexual material. There is simply NO NEED to change current law and force new standards on every school in the Commonwealth. Here’s how SB 2128 would work: 1. This is a MANDATE: According to SB 2128, every public or charter school “that offers a comprehensive sexual health education curriculum [which is the overwhelming majority of schools in MA] shall provide medically accurate, age-appropriate… education.” SB 2128 Section 1 (pg. 3, lines 37-39) (emphasis added) “Age appropriate” is vaguely defined to include the “developing cognitive, emotional and behavior capacity typical for the age or age group.” SB 2128 Section 1 (pg. 2, lines 29-31). “Medically accurate,” teachings need only be “supported by peer-reviewed research” and “if relevant, published in peer-reviewed journals.” SB 2128 Section 1 (pp. 2-3, lines 33-36) 2. BUREAUCRATS decide what is taught: The role of local parents and educators in deciding curricula is instead given to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (“DESE”). The commissioner of DESE is granted authority “to update the health curriculum framework…” SB 2128, Sec. 2 (pg 4, lines 67-70). Current law, developed in the late 1990s, allowed parents, educators and legislators to review the frameworks. Under this bill, DESE can rewrite the standards unilaterally AFTER SB 2128 is passed, effectively mandating a sex ed program that doesn’t even exist yet! 3.
  • Benefits of a Strong Parks and Recreation System

    Benefits of a Strong Parks and Recreation System

    A STRONG PARK AND RECREATION SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL FOR A THRIVING COMMUNITY Four out of five North Americans use their local recreation and park system. 70% have a park or recreation facility within walking distance of their home. Our parks are such a stable influence on our lives that we tend not to give them much thought. But our effective parks and recreation facilities do not just happen on their own. They require professional care and financial support to keep them clean, safe and suitable for the community they serve. HEALTH BENEFITS: Access to parks and recreation facilities leads to healthy lifestyles for people of all ages. Strong evidence shows that when people have access to parks, they exercise more. Every time sedentary people walk a mile, they add 21 minutes to their life. On average, every hour you spend exercising increases your life expectancy by two hours. Exercise increases the brain’s capacity for learning. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS: Parks, open spaces and trails play a key role in preserving water and air quality, reducing congestion and protecting wildlife. Through the provision of parks, open spaces and protected natural environment, recreation can contribute to the environmental health of our communities. Trail and pathway systems save energy and protect air quality by encouraging non-motorized transportation. COMMUNITY BENEFITS: Parks and Recreation sources give communities a vital identity. Well- maintained, accessible parks and recreation facilities are key elements of strong, safe, family-friendly communities. When citizens get involved with their parks and recreation systems, their quality of life improves. Parks and recreation opportunities encourage citizens to be engaged in their communities – as volunteers, stewards, advocates and students.
