OTA 1240 Physical Dysfunction Lecture II

Students continue the study of additional adult disabilities to learn how effects of dysfunction on occupational habits and occupational roles, apply the Occupational Therapy (OT) process, problem-solve ideas, become introduced to rehabilitation assessment, treatment techniques, and community resources.

Evidence-Based Practice Paper

Students will choose one topic or diagnosis from the Physical Dysfunction course sequence (1140, 1150, 1240, and 1250). Each student will develop a clinical question regarding occupational therapy assessment or diagnosis and then apply the evidence-based practice process to develop an answer. Students are expected to find and use at least 5 primary references. Students will submit a written summary (5-6 pages) of their findings with clinical recommendations and references. Students are expected to incorporate feedback on their summary from the writing center prior to submitting it for grading. Students will be expected to submit evidence of working with the writing center. Students will then present a summary of their findings and clinical recommendations.

Reflection

Completing this EBP paper on the importance of occupational therapy practitioners addressing sexuality in adults with disabilities was an eye-opening and valuable experience. The research process challenged me to think critically about the gaps in OT education and practice related to holistic client care, especially in areas that are often overlooked, like sexuality. Writing this paper helped me strengthen my academic skills in evidence-based writing and broadened my perspective on how essential it is to advocate for comprehensive, client-centered care. Overall, this process reinforced my commitment to becoming a well-rounded COTA who is prepared to support all aspects of my clients’ lives.
