I was required to get this book for my Orientation to OT class. So far I have found the book to be very helpful on my journey to becoming an Occupational Therapist. There is alot of good information in here. Some parts, such as the charts, may be a bit out dated but the information is still very helpful. I am really enjoying using this book to help me in my class.
