Original Question(s):
I am curious if you have inpatient OT staff who are evaluating and treating on the inpatient psychiatric unit at your facility.
- If so, what is the intervention?
- What evaluation measures are you using?
- What treatment or intervention techniques are you using?
- Are there any education resources you are aware of for IP OT intervention with this population that you have found to be helpful?
