Updated with new chapters, case examples, and a new focus on evidence-based practice. This proven approach helps students understand the why of each frame of reference before moving on to the how of creating effective treatment programs to help pediatric clients lead richer, fuller lives.nnThe book first covers the foundations of frames reference for pediatric OT (Section I), and then covers commonly used frames of reference such as motor skill acquisition, biomechanical, and sensory integration (Section II). A final section discusses newer focused/specific frames of reference like handwriting skills and social participation. A standardized format within each frame of reference chapter covers the same elements (Theoretical Base, Supporting Evidence, the Function/Dysfunction Continuum, Guide to Evaluation, and Application to Practice) to help students build the knowledge and skills needed for effective practice.
