Recreational Therapy Handbook of Practice Icf-based Diagnosis and Treatment

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) from the World Health Organization is a major shift in health care. It looks at health, not from the traditional medical model of disease, disorder, or injury, but from a universal, integrative, and interactive model, which includes the social and environmental aspects of disability and health. This Handbook shows recreational therapists how to use the new model. Recreational therapists will find that the model matches very well with their practice.Each of the 30+ diagnoses in Section 2 of the Handbook has a detailed diagnostic description, along with a review of the typical scope of the team assessment, anticipated RT assessment findings, both the whole team and recreational therapy approach, and common recreational therapy interventions specific to the diagnosis. Each of the 70+ techniques, concepts, and pieces of equipment listed in the diagnosis or the ICF description is reviewed separately in Section 4 to provide valuable how-to information.Porter, Heather R. is the author of 'Recreational Therapy Handbook of Practice Icf-based Diagnosis and Treatment', published 2006 under ISBN 9781882883530 and ISBN 1882883535.
