Kramer and Hinojosa’s Frames of Reference for Pediatric Occupational Therapy 5th Edition Author: Paula L. Kramer, Tsu-Hsin Howe, Francine M. Seruya Description 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. Two new chapters cover frames of reference: Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance Approach (CO-OP) and for Secondary Transitioning Planning. • New, student-friendly introductions to each part of the text help readers understand the flow of one topic to another. • Case examples include sample goals and accommodations and allow students to check their own critical thinking against what is proposed by the authors. • Full-color images of actual clinicians working with actual patients, along with a wide range of up-to-date photos and tables, illustrate key concepts and applications. • Essential terms are defined within the theoretical base in each frame of reference • Reflects recent changes to practice throughout, including integration of the 4th Edition of AOTA’s Occupational Therapy Practice Frameworks • New digital student resources include chapter proficiency quizzes and case studies that encourage application for each frame of reference. • New digital Instructor resources include a sequestered test bank that can be used for formative or summative assessment and PowerPoint lecture slides aligned to the text.
