Community Occupational Therapy with Mentally Handicapped Adults

By: Debbie Isaac

The philosophy of normalization and promotion of the plight of children and adults with mental handicaps has drawn more public attention in recent years. Governments in a number of countries have embarked upon policies involving the dosure of institutions, move ment of people with mental handicaps back into the community, and development of community-orientated programmes, although their reasons for this may be economically, rather than ideologically, motivated. Occupational therapists have moved into the community, along with other health professionals, in order to set up community services for people with mental handicaps. My own experience of working in a multidisciplinary team in Central London for 2V2 years, helping adults with mental handicaps to move out of an institution, has been a source of motivation to write this book. The amount of written material available on the occupational therapy approach to re settlement and de institutionalization is limited, in comparison with the massive amount of information written by, and for, other practitioners. Additionally, the number of texts written by and for occupational therapists with this dient group are few. Despite excellent support from OT colleagues, I experienced considerable frustration trying to define and perform my role, not helped by a shortage of texts to draw on.

Claro Que Si!

By: Debbie Rusch,Lucia Caycedo Garner,Marcela Dominguez

¡Claro que siacute;!is a proven, integrated skills program with a strong emphasis on developing oral proficiency and cultural competence. The text's combination of relevant themes, lively practice, and engaging technology tools allows students to start communicating early and with confidence. The authors' philosophy and approach cultivate active learners. Six solid principles of learning form the foundation of the text: students learn by doing; language is culture and culture is reflected in language; skill integration promotes language development; self-expression facilitates greater language proficiency; systematic recycling enables students to move from learning to acquisition; and engaging material enhances learning. Updated cultural information appears throughout the text in the¿Lo sabiaacute;n?culture notes and in the chapter-openingDatos interesantesfeature, introducing facts relevant to each chapter's content. The¡Claro que siacute;!video features footage from five Spanish-speaking countries. A mix of interviews and documentary-based segments allow students to see how geography and ethnicity influences the everyday lives of Hispanics. At the same time, students increase their cultural awareness through ongoing contrast and comparison of social practices, products, and other topics. To support independent and classroom viewing, pre- and post-viewing exercises appear after each even-numbered chapter in the text.
