Here is a great review regarding the Rehabilitative Frame of Reference.

Listen...learn...what would be your OT advice?

Like physical health, positive mental health promotes success in life. As defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “[m]ental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine
how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.” In schools, we
prioritize three critical and interrelated
components of mental health: social (how we relate to others), emotional (how we feel), and behavioral (how we act) supports to promoteoverall well-being (Chafouleas, 2020). 

Stroke rehabilitation in America leaves much to be desired in terms of recovery and quality
of life. There is a serious gap between stroke patients being discharged and transitioned to
physical recovery programs. In an effort to improve recovery and quality of life, the American
Heart Association has urged the healthcare community to prioritize exercise as an essential
part of post-stroke care.
With the right recovery programs that prioritize exercise for rehabilitation, stroke survivors
can “relearn” crucial motors skills to regain a higher quality of life. Thanks to a phenomenon
known as neuroplasticity, even permanent brain damage doesn’t make disability inevitable.

This white paper was created as a companion document to a larger
systematic review of evidence-based intervention practices (EBPs)
for children and youth on the autism spectrum (see Hume et al,
2020; Steinbrenner et al., 2020; https://go.unc.edu/FPG-NCAEPReport-2020). In that review, three randomized group design studies
documented the efficacy of Sensory Integration (SI), which qualified
SI as a new EBP. SI and associated treatment terminology have
various understandings across the field and is often inadequately
defined clinically or in the research literature. Thus, the objectives
of this white paper are to: (1) clearly define the Sensory Integration
treatment for which we found evidence in our review, and (2) clarify
recommendations for educators based on our findings.

Service learning is an active method that combines academic knowledge and hands-on experience while
serving a community. Service learning is well established within occupational therapy (OT) and allied
health education, as many institutions have organized both domestic and international service learning
experiences. Literature supports student benefits of participation in international service learning (ISL),
but limited literature exists on the long-term impact of participation in ISL throughout allied health
education. Many OT students participate in ISL during their education, but there is limited literature on the
impact of an ISL experience on participants’ careers in OT. I

Here is a Simple Shoulder Test assessment/evaluation.

he purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived factors that occupational and physical therapy graduate students believed led to success in a clinical neuroscience course. A cross-sectional survey design was utilized from a convenience sample of Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) and Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students. There were 76 (42%) responses collected, comprised of 62 (82%) OTD students and 14 (18%) DPT students. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze all survey results. Results indicated that success in a graduate neuroscience course may be supported with prior science coursework. Success in a graduate neuroscience course may be supported with additional resources such as a tutor, visuals, and other supplementary materials. Occupational therapy programs may consider supporting a neuroscience course with additional resources in order to facilitate student success.
