Book Description

July 30, 2006 1882883535 978-1882883530 1
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) is a new classification system that RTs will be using within the next few years. The RT Handbook prepares you to use it. Every code and the coding process are described in detail.
This book is packed with practical how-to information on assessing, treating, adapting, and documenting every physical, cognitive, and social skill you can possibly think of.
Over 30 diagnoses that are common to RT practice are reviewed in an easy-to-read format. Detailed information about the RT approaches and interventions for each diagnosis are provided... and the interventions are even in the book! Over 35 techniques and concepts are provided along with handouts and practical how-to information... and all of them tie back to the ICF codes! The book also reviews common pieces of therapy equipment and explains how to use it, why to use it, and how to get it!

Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a Handbook for RT clinical application designed to implement the ICF now. It will standardize communication, research, and therapy in the RT field and allow clearer communication with other disciplines. I salute Heather Porter and joan burlingame for this excellent manual. It is a model for other professional groups to follow in their own fields, within the U.S. and internationally. --Paul J. Placek, Ph.D. ICF Consultant

The Recreational Therapy Handbook of Practice is quite comprehensive! Generally, I found it very easy to read and filled with practical advice that RTs will undoubtedly find useful and applicable in practice. I was impressed with the volume of information contained in the Handbook and I was also impressed with the relative ease in finding and understanding the information. --Lynn F. Bufka, PhD, American Psychological Association

The ICF of the WHO is a conceptualization of health, disability, and function that complements and validates both the philosophy and practice of recreation therapy as an important and valued member of the health care and health promotion community. This Handbook is a critical step for the RT profession and individual professionals to be able to identify and relate our practice to this globally accepted model for aiding efforts for optimal health and functioning. --David Howard, Ph.D., CTRS, Chair of ATRA Public Health WHO team

Applying Recreational Therapy February 13, 2008
By Mary
This heavy text, nearly 2 inches thick, is one of the most detailed resources for practical application in the field ... this is where theory meets application!
