Specifically for children and youth engaging in play is essential in developing fine, gross, and visual motor skills that will implemented through adulthood. AT and OT can be helpful in helping children engage in play, school work, and other various activities of daily living (ADLs). ]]> 2021-07-26 17:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aborges2001/aiwljhub94n8gf8/wish/1661267802 aborges2001 https://padlet.com/aborges2001/aiwljhub94n8gf8/wish/1661267886
The role OTs play in AT for the aging population are to enable these individuals to continue to engage in activities that they want to do, and need to do, and complete these activities safely and efficiently. For the aging population OTs can recommend AT that will keep individuals safe such as a GPS, alarm, or cell phone. Or they can recommend AT that will make daily activities easier such as a reacher, pill organizer, or a reacher. ]]> 2021-07-26 17:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aborges2001/aiwljhub94n8gf8/wish/1661267886 aborges2001 https://padlet.com/aborges2001/aiwljhub94n8gf8/wish/1661267962 1) Reading Pens
