Wish I'd gotten this day 1 of OT school!:

This book has it all at your fingertips! An excellent dictionary for our profession and quick charts for maintaining competence in various areas of practice. It would have been especially useful at the start of my OT education as a reference/study guide, but is certainly useful to any practioner. It includes AOTA documents (Code of Ethics, etc.), as well as necessary and thoughtful interview/intervention questions in Spanish, Portugese, French, and German for building rapport and communicating with clients... more info

Useless:

This book was assigned in my Fundamentals of OT class. We never used it in that class and I have never found ANY information I needed in it in any of my other OT classes.

Quick Reference Dictionary for Occupational Therapy:

As a final year Occupational Therapy student from Great Britain, I purchased the book as I thought it may be helpful as a guide for looking up approaches/interventions etc. as well as including policies and ethics etc. The books ethics are etc. are similar to British therapists though there are many items that seem specific to America. I have not found the book very helpful and have only used it twice in total since I purchased it.

Quick Reference Review:

As an OT student I thought this book would be helpful in tutorial sessions and as a quick lookup for unknown subjects. I haven't found it to be very useful yet and have opened it maybe 3 times in 5 months. I would recommend K.Reed's Quick Reference to OT. That book is more comprehensive and still defines the words as well as explains the problem in detail.
