The Practical Occupational Therapist

Reviews

Hi Chris!  I just finished reading your Stroke edition - IT IS EXCELLENT!!!!   I have strongly encouraged my co-workers to purchase your information packets - they had the highest compliments as they examined my copy and they all said they want their own copy!!!  I find your work comprehensive and very well written and 100% clinically relevant!!!!!  I will continue to share your work with my colleagues and encourage clinicians to support your work - we need more of this type of sharing among clinicians out in the field!!!  Keep up the good work - as staffing continues to decrease and most clinics have minimal interaction between OTs this type of clinical sharing is soooo important!!  THANK YOU!!!!!

I'm a final year Occupational Therapy student. This guide helped me look at Stroke with various conditions and interventions in a big picture, it’s like putting all the puzzle pieces of theory/ evidence, techniques, and implementation into one meaningful whole! The best part is how Chris explains different ways of grading the interventions to meet the varied needs of patients on the continuum of recovery. I also learnt about new assessments and intervention techniques and there are links and references provided, if you want to go into details! It is simple to comprehend, rich with information, evidence based resource that I plan to keep it handy during my level 2 fieldwork!!! Kudos to Chris for taking this initiative and sharing with OT peeps! Thanks Chris!!!!

I have been an OT for 18 years. I am currently working in an outpatient setting specializing primarily with clients post cva with variable degrees of neurological impairments of their upper extremities. This treatment manual is a wonderful tool to reference and help guide my practice. It is so easy to follow and extremely relevant and practical. Everything is based upon the latest research and years of clinical practice. I am so happy to have this manual by my side to read and reference. After years of practice this manual has proven to teach me new techniques and strengthen my clinical practice. I highly recommend it!!

"I bought this treatment guide and have been really impressed by the ideas!   Even as an OT of 15 years, there were some real "aha" moments. I highly recommend this guide for any OT!  Thanks Chris for sharing your great ideas and knowledge!  It does not disappoint!"  Kristy

"This is Good! Most other disciplines don't know we can focus on this as well, especially director's who are nurses and have no clue as to what all OT entails. Great read" Valensia
