I learn from my CI that you must tailor an age-appropriate occupational intervention across the lifespan and avoid cookie-cutter approach.

Jeanese Murdock Windridge Reflection Paper Horses are therapeutic in so many ways, they are trained in specific ways that are therapeutic to the riders that attend Windridge Equestrian Center. These horses promote cognitive, physical, emotional, and social wellbeing to all diagnosis. The rhythmic gait of a horse moves the rider’s pelvis in the same rotation and side to side movement that occurs when walking. The movement of the horse stimulates a rider’s posture, and works on balance, coordination, and strength.
However, this has changed over the years to accommodate a wider variety of persons who are faced with occupational challenges in life. The changes would render the model useful throughout the life of such persons (Kielhofner, 2008). As such, it can be used for persons of all age brackets. It was possible to use the model to offer therapy to children undergoing challenges, such as, hyperactivity and attention deficit would be cared for. Adolescents were not left out either.

Functioning may be improved above and beyond this by developing new coping skills and eliminating ineffective ways of coping, such as withdrawal, separation, and substance abuse.

Research documents positive outcomes for crisis intervention, such as diminished pain and enhanced critical thinking.
Thank you for being willing to share your experiences with past trauma and how they are impacting your perspectives on the material we are reviewing. When I first watched the video earlier in the week, I thought “oh yes, I remember the attending skills” from my undergraduate education in social work. Then I was reminded in a very concrete way that there is more to attending behaviors than just eye contact, attentive posturing, and reflection skills.
In the case of Asim, I believe he fits under the ‘Interventions Requiring Complex Responses’ category because Asim needs effective support information as he is facing multiple barriers to his learning and well-being. Asim could be experiencing risk factors such as mental health issues, family difficulties and trauma because he comes from a refugee background. These barriers may have impacted the circumstances shown in his case, such as the disengagement from school, fighting and violence in the playground, and the poor grades and academic achievement. To coordinate an effective response to Asim’s case, there needs to be a strong focus on relationships with his peers, family, and significant community groups to ensure a holistic and culturally appropriate intervention is established. I believe this is the most effective domain for Asim because it was outlined in the case that he is the leader of a group of boys with similar academic achievement.
The objectives of using therapeutic communication strategy are to support and gain the trust of the clients, promote healing and enhance functioning (Shelton, 2005). Without trust between nurses and clients, clients would not willing to share one 's feeling. As a result, no one can provide appropriate support to them. Thus, verbal and nonverbal communication should be pay attention. In this case, facial expressions, posture and physical barriers should be noticed (Evans, 2003).
