2. For what condition (stroke, autism, etc.) and functional problem areas (decreased
strength, decreased balance, etc.) was this individual receiving occupational therapy?
3. What type of setting (hospital, nursing home, etc.) did each person receive services?
4. List 3 therapeutic activities that the therapist utilized and what the individual believed
was the purpose of each activity? Complete some research and indicate what you found
to be the specific purpose of this type of intervention?
5. How long did the individuals receive occupational therapy?
6. What is one thing the individuals remember the most about their occupational therapy
sessions?

experiences of each population. But, if you only have access to a different combination (2
adults, 2 children) that will be accepted.
