    The traditional method for intervention puts students with a specific language at a disadvantage by identifying SLD students later. RTI enables teacher’s through consistent progress monitoring to identify SLD students early to receive more intensive interventions.

    Explain your understanding of the rationale for this EBP model. My time as a case manager, in a harm reduction program for homeless veterans has allowed me to have weekly sessions with a client for over two months now. The client is an Army vet with a history of substance abuse secondary to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In my effort to asses the client’s mental health on a weekly basis, I took notice in how the Feedback Informed Intervention (FIT), provided a unique opportunity for me and my client. Boswell, Kraus, Miller, & Lambert (2013) says there 's a moment in time when the patient and provider can look through a window together which the therapist and patient can catch glimpses into a unique world-view (Boswell, Kraus, Miller,…

    The authors of the article, “Systematic Review of Apraxia Treatments to Improve Occupational Performance Outcomes”, set out to evaluate serval of the currently published treatments for apraxia, in order to find which type of intervention is most effective on a patient’s occupational skills. The need for such a review stems from the fact that many apraxia studies lack a focus on occupational performance, such as ADL’s and IADL’s. After setting up the criteria for selecting the articles to be include in the review, the authors used the FAME (feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness, and effectiveness) rating system to determine which type of intervention proved to be best for the use in occupational therapy. Eight studies were included and can be grouped into three different treatment approaches: errorless learning approach, gesture training, and strategy training. In was concluded that task-specific strategy training is the best treatment for patients suffering from apraxia.…

    I reviewed the Critically Appraised Topic (CAT) that was titled “There is low level evidence to support the use of functional electrical stimulation to enhance function in the upper limbs of children with neurological conditions” (1). Erin Cleary, Alison Waite, and Kathryn Asher from the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network prepared the CAT in May 2011 with a suggested next review date in May 2013. Direct contact information for the preparers was not listed, though their department and location within the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network were both listed. The title of the CAT was meant to be informative as it told the reader that there is indeed low level evidence to support the use of functional electrical stimulation (FES) in children with neurological conditions, but the clinical bottom line shows that there is not real evidence to support this claim.…

    In the United States low back pain is a common problem affecting the overall quality of life as being costly due to decreased productivity, sick time, and usage of disability benefits. Lumbar microdiscectomy considered a minimally invasive technique, is most often performed on people experiencing radiating symptoms to the lower extremities. Evidence has shown that exercise and patient education 4-6 weeks post microdiscectomy led to better function than no treatment at all (Beneck et al., 2014). A study using dynamic lumbar stabilization exercises was also found to improve function, quality of life, and decreased disability after a microdiscectomy.…

    What exactly is occupational therapy? Occupational therapy is “An artful blend of science and simplicity, therapeutic authenticity” (Warren, “Occupational Therapy). In “Occupational Therapy”, a poem written by Joan T. Warren, a plethora of information reveals many aspects of what occupational therapists accomplish on a daily basis. The themes of diversity and variability are prevalent throughout the poem and is exemplified through the various foundations of education required to become an occupational therapist, the different types of rehabilitation exercises patients are tasked with, and the wide array of patients that occupational therapists are obliged to assist on any given day.…

    According to the U.S Department of Education, the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is a law that ensures services to children with disabilities throughout the nation. Parents who have children (ages 0-3) that are born with developmental delays or disabilities are strongly recommended to take advantage of the early intervention services offered by their state.

    Combined Pharmacological and Behavioral Interventions is a method of treatment that centers on the shared usage of medication and behavior treatment. This combination has been shown to be quite effective in treating children with ADHD and has several advantages over medication alone or behavioral treatment alone. With the addition of medication, the behavioral component of treatment may be able to be scaled down, thereby reducing the amount of time parents and teachers need to spend on shaping behavior. The dose of medication can be reduced for children using a combined approach. Parents knowledgeable about the use of behavioral treatments can apply such treatments during times when the child is not taking medication (i.e., in the evenings…

    Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), also known as developmental apraxia of speech (DAS), is a childhood speech sound disorder caused by the impairment of the motor movements of the articulators related to speech production. This impairment impacts the coordination and accuracy of the muscles used to coordinate the speech production (Vinson, 2001). This disease differs from dysarthria, which impacts the execution of the utterance instead of the planning and programming of the speech movement. The prevalence of this disorder ranges from as low as 1 out of 1000 children per birth to as high as 3-4 children per 100 children (Dale & Hayden, 2013). All of the children who has been diagnosed with CAS are at risk for several speech and language concerns…
