Fabrication Process Manual for Orthotic Intervention for the Hand and Upper Extremity: Splinting Principles and Process* 3rd Edition by MaryLynn Jacobs & Noelle Austin ISBN: 978-1-9751-7235-0 / 301pp / April 2021 This comprehensive manual is the perfect resource for use in the classroom, during labs, and in clinical practice for both occupational and physical therapists. Additionally, it is a great reference for those studying to become a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT). The Fabrication Process Manual complements the main text, Orthotic Intervention for the Hand and Upper Extremity: Splinting Principles and Process , and clearly presents step by-step instructions for the fabrication of the orthoses as well as providing alternative orthotic treatment options. The various orthoses and techniques presented allow the therapist to tailor each orthosis for the specific patient. Kramer and Hinojosa’s Frames of Reference for Pediatric Occupational Therapy 5th Edition by Paula Kramer ISBN: 978-1-9752-2020-4 / 1,344pp / August 2025 Using frames of reference as effective blueprints for applying theory to pediatric OT practice, Kramer and Hinojosa’s Frames of Reference for Pediatric Occupational Therapy, 5th Edition , helps students learn to effectively evaluate child and adolescent clients and plan for intervention. This proven, reader-friendly approach helps students understand the “why” of each frame of reference (neuro-development or Ayres sensory integration, for example) before moving on to the “how” of creating effective treatment programs. Thoroughly updated content covers the foundations of frames of reference for pediatric OT followed by commonly used frames of reference such as biomechanical and motor skill acquisition. A final section discusses focused frames of reference such as handwriting skills and social participation. An easy-to-follow, templated format provides illustrated, real-world examples as it guides readers through each frame of reference: Theoretical Base, the Function/Dysfunction Continuum, Guide to Evaluation, Application to Practice, and Supporting Evidence. *Also available as a Print and Digital Access Card Package: 978-1-9752-2978-8
