Recovering Energy through Nutrition and Exercise for Weight Loss (RENEW)
Authors: Bae Soyoung Esther 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
“Weight Loss Intervention for People with Serious Mental Illness: A Randomized Controlled Trial of the RENEW Program” examines the effectiveness of the first two phases of the RENEW (Recovering Energy through Nutrition and Exercise for Weight Loss) program, a weight loss program for people living with serious mental illness. This randomized controlled trial compared the weight loss of individuals in the RENEW program compared to those receiving typical day treatment at their community mental health programs over 3- and 6-month periods, finding that individuals who participated in RENEW lost significantly more weight than those in the control group. This chapter includes a clinical case example representing clients who may benefit from programs like the one described in this study.
Evaluation of Sensory Processing Using the Sensory Profile Questionnaire
Authors: Watling Renee , Holland Cristin 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This chapter reviews the factor analysis of the Sensory Profile, an 81-item caregiver-completed questionnaire that examines a child’s sensory processing patterns. Factor analysis of 1,037 completed questionnaires from children ages 3–10 years without disabilities identified a nine-factor model sorted by the child’s responsivity to sensory experiences, rather than by sensory system. The model accounted for 47.8% of the variance in the factor loadings. The Sensory Profile factors identified in this study are similar to patterns of sensory modulation found in children with disabilities. A case study illustrates use of the Sensory Profile-2, a revised version of the Sensory Profile, in the occupational therapy evaluation process to gather information about a client’s sensory processing–based behaviors and inform intervention planning.
Moderate- versus Light-Pressure Massage Therapy Leads to Greater Weight Gain in Preterm Infants
Authors: Stein Duker Leah I. , Franklin Marshae D. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the application of moderate-pressure massage and kinesthetic stimulation versus light-pressure massage and kinesthetic stimulation on preterm infant behavioral states, heart rate/vagal tone, and weight. Preterm infants (n = 68; M gestational age = 30 weeks) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were randomly assigned to a moderate- or light-pressure massage therapy plus kinesthetic stimulation condition, receiving massages three times per day for 15 minutes each for 5 consecutive days. Infants who received moderate-pressure massage therapy demonstrated significant improvements in behavioral states (e.g., active sleep, fussing, crying, movement, stress behavior), deep sleep, heart rate/vagal tone, and weight gain compared to the light-pressure massage therapy group. Overall, the data indicate that providing moderate-pressure massage therapy and kinesthetic stimulation has the potential to improve outcomes for stable preterm infants in the NICU.
Environmental Barriers and Their Impact on Participation for Youth with Physical Disabilities
Authors: Kingsley Karrie , Glennon Tara J. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Dyads of 427 parents and children, aged 6–14 years and with a range of health and developmental difficulties, were surveyed, interviewed, and scored on three structured tools to evaluate the perceptions of barriers to participation in school, recreation, and community activities. Perceived barriers were noted in all contexts, ranked highest to lowest in school and work, natural and built environments, policies, services and assistance, and attitudes, respectively. The authors recorded environmental characteristics of accessibility, accommodation, resource availability, social support, and equality as interfering factors and barriers to participation. Adolescents, children with behavioral challenges, and young children with physical limitations were demographic groups with greater perceived barriers.
Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy for Children with Sensory Modulation Disorder
Authors: Reynolds Stacey , Pou Kaelah 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
“A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study of the Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy for Children with Sensory Modulation Disorder” investigates the effectiveness of occupational therapy using a sensory integration approach (OT-SI) in treating children who have sensory modulation disorder (SMD). It specifically examines whether OT-SI is better than an alternate treatment or passive placebo treatment at mitigating attention, cognitive, sensory, and behavioral problems in children with SMD. This randomized controlled trial both references and expands upon previously conducted OT-SI research as it uses a combination of instruments as outcome measures to gauge differences between treatment groups. At the end of this chapter is a case study serving as an example of how Miller et al.’s findings could translate into clinical practice.
Clinical Reasoning among Occupational Therapists
Authors: McLaughlin Gray Julie 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Clinical Reasoning: Forms of Inquiry in a Therapeutic Practice presents the findings of a multiyear qualitative study of the clinical reasoning of occupational therapists through ethnographic and action research methods. The clinical reasoning of 14 therapists in a large teaching hospital was examined by a team of researchers, including several of the therapists themselves, through participant observation, review of videos, and extensive interviews with the therapists and some patients. Findings revealed three different types of clinical reasoning, procedural, interactive, and conditional, which expert therapists combined in what authors named a three-track mind. Due to the profession’s core values and commitment to treating the whole person and, especially, the phenomenological or lived experience of illness or disability, many occupational therapists experienced tensions between expectations of the institution’s focus on the medical model and their professional commitment to treating the personal and complex experiences associated with navigating disability and illness in everyday life.
Can the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills Predict Behind-the-Wheel Driving Performance?
Authors: Verran Ana 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The chapter "Can the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills Predict Behind-the-Wheel Driving Performance?" in 50 Studies Every Occupational Therapist Should Know describes the development of an algorithm to identify at-risk drivers that would benefit from additional assessment of their potential to drive safely. Support for the algorithm came from a research study comparing participants' performance on instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), rated using the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), and an assessment of behind-the-wheel (BTW) driving performance conducted by occupational therapist driving rehabilitation specialists. AMPS process scale scores were significantly associated with passing, failing, and driving restriction results on a BTW assessment. The study's findings suggest that occupational therapists can accurately determine safe drivers, those at risk for unsafe driving, and those in need of specialized driving evaluation based on a structured observation of IADLs other than driving.
Participation and Performance Are Not Synonymous
Authors: Rafeedie Samia H. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Traditional assessment measurements fail the disability community in that “participation” has unique qualities for people who have different abilities, resources, and needs. Participation includes not only active engagement in life situations at the societal level, but also the personal meaning and satisfaction resulting from that engagement. Participation is a right based on access, opportunity, respect, and inclusion. Participation should include not only the physical aspects of “doing,” but also the choice and control to participate in ways individually perceived as meaningful. The medical and rehabilitation fields need subjective and value-based participation assessment tools that reflect a non-hierarchical conceptualization of participation created with the voice of the disability community, which is contrary to the assumptions of traditional measurement. Researchers must critically examine conventional means of measuring participation via performance of a standard set of roles and activities that do not make sense for all people.
Exploring the Association Between Therapy Time and Functional Recovery Through Mobility and Self Care Clinical Outcomes
Authors: Jordan Katie 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
With therapy minutes generally closely aligned with regulatory and reimbursement requirements, there is little room to consider patient characteristics, time (length of stay [LOS]), and clinical judgment in determining the most cost-effective and clinically optimal plan of care. This study provides valuable insight into client-centered variables (comorbidities, functional outcomes, burden of care) that bring meaning and perspective into determining a value-based rehabilitation plan rather than one based on arbitrary required and assigned minutes. In this study, patients are assigned to one of nine recovery groups following hip fracture surgery. Recovery groups are based on therapy minutes per LOS as low, medium, or high and functional gains in self-care and mobility as measured by the Functional Independence Measure as low, medium, or high. All groups are compared on LOS, providing insight into the role of clinical decision-making and consideration of patient characteristics in determining the dose and intensity of therapy services.
Occupational Therapy is the Cost-Effective Solution to Support High Quality Care and Reduce Readmissions in Hospitals
Authors: Jordan Katie 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Occupational therapy is the only hospital cost category in which increased spending is statistically significantly associated with reduced readmission rates for conditions covered in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Hospital Readmission Reduction Program. These conditions are heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, and pneumonia. With approximately 75% of patients with heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, or pneumonia who are admitted not typically receiving occupational therapy services, the findings of this study suggest a low-cost and high-yield way for hospitals to improve the quality of care and reduce the number of readmissions by investing in occupational therapy services for more patients.
Supervisory Styles
Authors: Veach Patricia McCarthy 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis chapter describes and differentiates major types of supervisory styles of consultation, teaching (both directive and evocative teaching), counseling, and evaluation. Illustrative examples clarify these styles in genetic counseling supervision. The chapter identifies benefits and limitations of each style and emphasizes the importance of strategic, intentional use of the various styles. It explains two supervision dynamics, support and guidance, notes their presence within all supervisory styles to varying degrees, and connects support and guidance to issues of power and trust within supervision relationships. The chapter includes learning activities that provide opportunities for practice using each style and reflection upon one’s stylistic preferences.
Evaluation in Supervision
Authors: Atzinger Carrie 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis chapter describes types and functions of student evaluation in supervision, presents approaches to student and supervisor evaluation, discusses common challenges in evaluation and ways to manage them, and presents strategies to promote effective evaluation processes. It differentiates formative and summative evaluation, indicates typical criteria on which evaluation of genetic counseling students is based, and makes a connection between feedback and evaluation in supervision. It describes and provides examples of evaluation approaches (e.g., Likert-style evaluations and anchored rubrics). It highlights subjectivity and power dynamics as prevalent evaluation challenges and suggests ways to managing these challenges. The chapter concludes with learning activities that provide opportunities for reflection and practice in evaluation.
Fostering Psychosocial Skill Development
Authors: Veach Patricia McCarthy 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis chapter defines psychosocial skills in genetic counseling and discusses the importance of psychosocial skills in genetic counseling practice. It presents empirically derived genetic counselor supervisor competencies that explicitly address building students’ psychosocial skills and discusses the role of psychosocial skills as presented in a model of psychosocial adaptation. It uses a Discrimination Model to describe domains of psychosocial skills critical to genetic counseling practice (intervention, conceptualization, and personalization), along with specific examples. It defines 13 types of basic helping skills and includes illustrative examples. The chapter identifies several supervision strategies to foster student development of psychosocial skills, including recognizing and managing misconceptions about using psychosocial skills, modeling of skills, goal setting, and deliberate practice. Learning activities offer opportunities for practice in promoting students’ psychosocial skills.
