Book excerpt: Mary McMillan: The Mother of Physical ~ Mary McMillan was as instrumental in founding physical therapy, as FlorenceNightingale influenced the profession of modern nursing. Mary knew from anearly age that she was meant to help, heal, and assist those who were in pain.She was fearless and unafraid to help all who suffered, no matter the peril. Marywas the key figure in organizing the profession of physical therapy in the first half of the twentieth century.Born in America in 1880, she was uprooted to England to live with her aunt at an early age. In college, she trained in physical education and remedial exercises in order to work with patients recovering from orthopedic surgery. In 1910 she worked in Liverpool under the eminent Sir Robert Jones. Shereturned to the United States in 1915 and became the Director of the Clinic ofthe Children's Hospital in Portland, Maine. Two years later, thousands of WorldWar I wounded soldiers needed rehabilitation after the end of the war. She quickly became known and admired by leading orthopedic doctors and was recruited by the United States Surgeon General to form courses in physical reconstruction and therapy. Mary was the first reconstruction aide sworn into the United States Army in February 1918 and shortly thereafter was promoted to Director of Reconstruction Aides, later to be called Physical Therapists.World War I launched a need and ignited the field of physical therapyin America. It allowed women to begin a career in a new profession, one that would make their talents shine by healing tens of thousands of suffering soldiers. Mary taught the United States Army's inaugural class of over 200women reconstruction aides at Reed College, whose graduates were sent outall over the country to set up hospital wards to rehabilitate the war's woundedsoldiers. She would become known by all in her profession as "The Mother ofPhysical Therapy," and a leader of the rapidly growing vocation. Because of Mary's hard work, efforts, and teaching, physical therapy would later become an integral part of every medical and physical recovery program for patients in homes, hospitals, clinics, schools, and training facilities around the world.In 1921, Mary wrote the best-selling book, Massage and TherapeuticExercise, published by W.B. Saunders. She became the principal founder and president of the American Women's Physical Therapeutics Association, known today as the American Physical Therapy Association. At the same time, she was the Director of Physiotherapy at Harvard Medical School Graduate Program for eight years. In 1932, the Rockefeller Foundation appointed her to be the Chief Physiotherapist at Peiping Union Medical College (PUMC) in China until she resigned in 1941.Upon the completion of her nine-year tenure in China, she bookedpassage back to America the week before the Pearl Harbor attack, but was toolate. She was left stranded in Manila as the Japanese invaded the city, which leftno chance for her repatriation home. Mary, and over 4,000 other Americans,British, and Dutch faced tragic circumstances, heroic hardships, starvation,and life-threatening health issues during their imprisonment by the Japanese in the Santo Tomas and Chapei Internment Camps from 1941-1944. This heroic story shares, in vivid detail, her triumphant life story in how she endured and survived through it all, never lost faith, and succeeded in her goal to serve the unfortunate as the "Mother of Physical Therapy"

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Download or read book Occupational Therapy written by Virginia Anne Metaxas Quiroga and published by Amer Occupational Therapy Assn. This book was released on 1995 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the occupational therapy profession emerged in the 1910s, it has had to explain itself to the world of medicine and to the public. The word therapy seems to have been understood easily; the word occupation has been more troublesome. In the early part of the 20th century, with its new focus on science and medicine, many interpreted it to mean vocational. But to the early occupational therapists it meant more than that. They took a holistic approach to health care, believing that, to achieve good health, a patient had to engage the body, mind, and spirit in the process of healing. For occupational therapists, today's world parallels that of a century ago. By studying the legacy of experience left by the profession's founders and immediate successors, readers can learn about their creativeness under dire conditions, which produced concepts and ideas that can enlighten us today. This book offers substantial knowledge and inspiration that enhances our competence, understanding, and courage.
