While there are some attributions in the article, to the best of my knowledge, merely attributing something does not enable word-for-word copying. Looking at the article edit history, this is a long-standing problem with this article. That makes correction difficult, since it may be that not all of the article text is copyvio. Since I'm not familiar with the subject matter, I am unable to effectively edit the article to eliminate the copyright violations.

Association of OTs). I hope to find sources on the history of OT and the paradigm shifts and to include them too. I also recommended that there be more in text citations...just since people would want to know exactly where all the information comes from. But thanks for the page thus far. It assisted me in giving me a taste in what OT is about.

As per my suggestion above I have re-organized the opening page and created a table with potential links to each member nation of WFOT. I have put the NZ and US history on their own pages and will start the

Hi there, I hope my changes in the philosophy of OT are alright and that I haven't made the changes too abruptly. I really do mean well but I didn't quite know how to incorporate the previous philosophy, nor do I know where it had come from. The changes are based on a book by
Townsend and Polatajko

Hi Guys, I think what we are doing could be seen as "advertising" becase it is all coming from a positive and descriptive perspective. I suppose we should think about including some of the more challenging aspects of OT too eg lack of clear definition, complex use of the word occupation, core v

I had both in school when I was a kid, and both seem (in my hazy recollection) to have involved me bouncing around on balls, rolling on balls, rolling on platform scooters (little platforms with four wheels on the bottom), and rolling on soft cylindars, etc. so I'm curious about the difference.

I agree - out of the four current case studies for one to be gunshot perhaps gives a misleading impression of what most occupational therapists do. Could we use a subject heading instead of upper limb rehabilitation, or describe it any differently? I'm a New

DragonHawk, I've been a big contributor to this article, and frankly, I've never noticed that there was a copyright infringement. I must say, I'm stupid for not checking out the links, and I took for granted that what was on the page already was original. I wrote a couple of the case studies

I'm not sure exactly what your therapist was doing or why, but it sounds like a sensory approach. (In my opinion. Look up

It's hard to describe but I believe that there are differences between an OT and PT in their scopes of practice, which at times in some settings could and would overlap (since OTs can work and are trained to work with clients with physical disabilities too). The OT scope is, essentially,

From my understanding, Ergotherapy is not actually used anywhere. It is a mistake often made by francophones trying to translate the French term Ergothérapie into its

I am going into OTA and there is no information on Knowledge (XXG) on OTA. Could you please add some information about OTA? I would also like to know what are the different areas an OTA can specialize in. I would realy appreciate it.

I don't know too much about Knowledge (XXG) policy, but since there are only a few sections that are actually in copyright violation, I'm going to alter/delete those sections, instead of rewriting the entire article from scratch.

While one of occupational therapy's new area of specialization is ergonomics, I have never heard of that term. But if its widespread in your area, go ahead and add it in. At least that will make the article more globalized! :)

I think we can link to the Occupational Science Article and expand it. Occupational science concepts such as occ alienation, occ deprivation, occ burnout could be explained there and then linked to from the occ thy article.

Had been deleted as it is not a true representation of OT practice. A sentence on the therapeutic use of mandalas can be put in the mandala article; it does not belong here as this is not the place for specific therapies.

I'm not clear what the advantage of having two separate pages is as the points will be relevant to both. In my opinion in makes sense to remove the occupational therapist page as most work has been done here.
