AnnotationThe usefulness of a new occupational therapy approach to intervention was explored with three individuals who had sustained a cerebral vascular accident (CVA). This new approach, the Occupational Adaptation Frame of Reference (OA) was used to guide the therapist in the treatment of mobility problems associated with the CVA. Participants were assessed and treated by an occupational therapist in their home environment. Results revealed that intervention based on OA was associated with improved mobility skills. (KJ).
