Something is defi- nitely brewing in Pickax; what April is Occupational Therapy Month By GAIL FIDLER, OTR, FAOTA April is Occupational Therapy Month, an appropriate time for acknowledging this profession's many contributions to health care, and a time for promoting under- standing of the profession itself. Such attention is indeed timely this year since health care con- cerns and the pending develop- ment of a national health care plan is, very much on everyone's mind. Occupational therapy has a crucial note in health care as a restorative service for those who are injured, ill or disabled; as a discipline whose practitioners help individuals compensate for physi- cal or mental limitations or handi- caps; and as a profession com- mitted to the prevention of dis- ability and the promotion of well- ness. The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), in concert with other rehabilitation professions, is actively involved in providing information to the Clin- ton health care planning commit- tee to urge that the plan address the need for restorative health service beyond acute, short term care. My physician husband and I have written to Hillary Rodham Clinton, pointing up the critical importance of services such as occupational therapy to ensure that individuals reach their high- est possible level of independent functioning. We point out that it seems to make little sense to spend millions to prevent people from dying and then invest little or nothing in continued care to maximize their ability to lead as productive a life as possible. Today we recognize the close relationship between state of health and the quality of life. Research in the behavioral and health sciences is defining the important elements of a satisfy- ing life; an individual sense of autonomy, independence, self dependency, and the opportunity and ability to do those things that one does well. When ilnness or disability occurs, these universal human needs are often thwarted, and healing and restoration is likewise thwarted and delayed. Occupational therapy ad- dresses such issues. Occupational therapy empowers an individual to perform daily living activities in more productive, satisfying ways. To be able to attain a level of independent functioning and to ity insurance and Medicaid. ac- cording to the Medical Rehabilita- tion Education Foundation. For 20 years, occuaptional therapy's role in health care has been rapidly expanding beyond the acute and rehabilitation hos- pitals to community based health care services, school systems, independent living centers, nurs- ing homes, industrial settings and wellness programs. The demand for occupational therapy services far exceeds the numberof practi- tioners. However, because of a severe shortage of occupational therapists qualified to teach at the college level, 65 percent of qualified student applicants were turned away from college and university occupational therapy programs in 1991-92, according to the AOTA. The inability of these programs to meet the demands for graduates is certainly serious. One of the AOTA's top priorities is to stimulate the development of graduate programs in occupa- tional therapy to prepare thera- pists for leadership and teaching roles in the profession. College Misericordia is one of a few col- leges and universities in the coun- try which offers a five-year entry level degree in occupational ther- apy, permitting students toearna bachelor of science degree in ei- ther psychology or general stud- ies, and a master of science de- gree in occupational therapy. The College also has developed a spe- cialty master's program for the practicing registered occupational therapist. : These programs aim to provide the research that is necessary for effective services and for the on- going development of new and improved methods; to teach and mentor the novice therapist; to monitor, oversee and guide the health care aide and assistant; and to provide skillful, cost effec- tive care to patient and client. The graduates of these programs will be called upon, now and in the future, to provide the leadership needed to develop affordable, quality health care through re- search, artful practice and crea- tive teaching. Occupational therapy’s role in this nation’s future health care is a vital, growing one, and holds much promise for the improved health of our society. Gail Fidler, OTR, FAOTA, is an internationally-known researcher, author and teacher of occupa- tional therapy. Currently she is Scholar-in-Residence for Miseri- cordia’s occupatinal therapy pro- gram. March 31 Old Photo identified sgh 4 The Back Mountain Memorial bar and free parking.
