Answer by Gracinda
There could be a lot of reasons why a child would have OT.
OT’s work with kids who have had injuries to their arms and hands, or who have sensory problems and have trouble regulating their responses to the environment and as well as kids who have intellectual delays.

Question by nikki: Rehab counselor???????
How can i become a rehab counselor. Can you only become 1 with a master’s in psychology? Can u be 1 if u have an associate’s degree or a BA

Best answer:

Answer by d
What type of rehab counselor are you talking about? Substance abuse or a CRC? For either, you will need a masters degree. If you want to do substance abuse “rehab” you will need to complete it in mental health counseling and I would suggest obtaining certification in substance abuse counseling. If you want to be a CRC, you will need to obtain your masters in rehabilitation counseling.

Alarming research is showing that elderly cancer patients are missing out on the breakthroughs in chemotherapy and surgery that have dramatically improved the outcome of younger patients.
In fact, up to 15,000 elderly people with cancer in the UK are dying prematurely every year when compared to the rest of Europe and the U.S., according to a report published by the North West Cancer Intelligence Service (NWCIS) which compiles cancer statistics. . . .
A major concern is that the NHS Cancer Plan, introduced in 2000 to improve cancer survival in the UK, has a cut-off point at 70. This results in hospitals having less interest in the elderly. “Yet half of all those diagnosed with cancer are over 70,” says Dr Tony Moran, NWCIS research director. “It’s an area that has been grossly neglected. . . .”
Not surprised there, Townshend, since you don’t feel the need to actually read.
