Libri di Rene Padilla

The only comprehensive book on geriatric occupational therapy designed specifically for the COTA, "Occupational Therapy with Elders: Strategies for the COTA, 3rd Edition" provides in-depth coverage of each aspect of geriatric practice, from wellness and prevention to death and dying. A discussion of foundational concepts includes aging trends and strategies for elder care, and coverage of emerging areas includes low-vision rehabilitation, mobility issues including driving, and Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Expert authors Rene Padilla, Sue Byers-Connon, and Helene Lohman offer an unmatched discussion of diverse populations and the latest on geriatric policies and procedures in this fast-growing area of practice.

Working with elders in skilled nursing homes and intermediate care facilities has become the number one practice area for COTAs. This is the only book available to fill that need! It will not only be a required classroom text in OTA programs, but it will also become an indispensable reference text for COTAs in practice in long-term and immediate-term care facilities, home care organizations, rehabilitation programs, and hospitals. This is a highly readable, user-friendly text containing many case studies and scenarios, which relate concepts to real-life clinical practice for a COTA.
