This practice guideline gives occupational therapy practitioners, educators, and health care professionals an evidence-based guideline for providing the best, most appropriate care for adults with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders as well as their caregivers. Of the numerous types of dementia, some are rare, while others are reaching alarming proportions. The most prevalent is Alzheimer's disease, with 1 in 85 individuals predicted to have the disease by 2050, for a total of 107 million people globally. As the disease currently is progressive and ultimately fatal, there are major challenges not only for the individuals affected but also for their families and communities. This Practice Guideline reviews the symptoms, stages, and pharmacology as well as gives a detailed description of the occupational therapy process for various approaches and interventions. Appendixes include selected CPTTM and ICD-9-CM codes, as well as driving and community mobility issues for people with Alzheimer's disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As occupational therapy celebrates its centennial in 2017, attention returns to the profession's founding belief in the value of therapeutic occupations as a way to remediate illness and maintain health. The founders emphasized the importance of establishing a therapeutic relationship with each client and designing an intervention plan based on the knowledge about a client's context and environment, values, goals, and needs. Using today's lexicon, the profession's founders proposed a vision for the profession that was occupation based, client centered, and evidence based--the vision articulated in the third edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process. The Framework is a must-have official document from the American Occupational Therapy Association. Intended for occupational therapy practitioners and students, other health care professionals, educators, researchers, payers, and consumers, the Framework summarizes the interrelated constructs that describe occupational therapy practice. In addition to the creation of a new preface to set the tone for the work, this new edition includes the following highlights: a redefinition of the overarching statement describing occupational therapy's domain; a new definition of clients that includes persons, groups, and populations; further delineation of the profession's relationship to organizations; inclusion of activity demands as part of the process; and even more up-to-date analysis and guidance for today's occupational therapy practitioners. Achieving health, well-being, and participation in life through engagement in occupation is the overarching statement that describes the domain and process of occupational therapy in the fullest sense. The Framework can provide the structure and guidance that practitioners can use to meet this important goal.
