Strengths-based OT for Ataxia Telangiectasia
Manage episode 252984350 series 2573061
I was reaching the end of this week’s article when my eyes suddenly flooded with tears.
That’s because I encountered something we had not yet seen in the OT Potential Podcast: strengths-based recommendations. And I don't mean strength training. I mean focusing on our patients' strengths (rather than their impairments) and leveraging them so patients get the absolute most out of their care.
This concept is especially important when you consider the patient population we examine this week: those with ataxia telangiectasia (A-T).
We could easily focus on the disabilities of patients with this rare disease. However, the authors of this week's article did a fantastic job of looking at the innate strengths of patients with A-T, and how we might consider them when creating care plans. I will be eager to hear from anyone who has worked with this population and/or has experience with strengths-based approaches.
