This article discusses the challenges and implications for pediatric practice in the home. Pediatric occupational therapists are moving the treatment setting from the clinic to the home. Working within the home environment requires occupational therapists to adapt their roles, functions, and treatment styles. Intervention frequently involves practical and relevant treatment, using activities and objects from the child's world. Thus, functional goals may be more realistically achieved in the child's living environment. Involvement with family members also offers opportunities to develop collaborative relationships with parents and, therefore, to integrate the intervention program into the child's home life.
本文讨论了在家中进行儿科治疗实践所面临的挑战及影响。儿科职业治疗师正将治疗场所从诊所转移到家中。在家庭环境中工作要求职业治疗师调整他们的角色、职能和治疗方式。干预通常涉及实用且相关的治疗,利用孩子生活中的活动和物品。因此,在孩子的生活环境中可能更现实地实现功能目标。与家庭成员的参与也为与家长建立合作关系提供了机会,从而将干预计划融入孩子的家庭生活。
