Last Semester this blog was designed to demonstrate the application of specific technologies to Occupational Therapy practice, but Semester Two the focus has changed to an activity that I enjoy doing!
So we will be looking at the value of meaningful engagement in occupation through mindfulness, frameworks and philosophies. I will be regularly posting over the next six weeks and the occupation of my choice is hebel sculpture!Cara Tatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07491776657093692859noreply@blogger.comBlogger16125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764514769829454389.post-86849276592493258152011-10-25T00:34:00.000-07:002011-10-27T11:16:48.876-07:00Framework: Work and Paper/Craft and Ambience<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: black;">Sixth Blog</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">According to Green (1968), he describes labour as a “mere activity characterized by necessity and futility. The goods produced by labour are consumed and have no enduring quality. A man is not free whose life is totally absorbed in labour” (p.99).</span></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Green also states that “work is an activity producing an enduring object. Work requires self-investment, skill, craft and personal judgement and that work is purposeful and meaningful” (p.99).</span></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"> </span></span> </div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">From this quote I consider that my activity of hebel sculpture fit’s under the umbrella of “work”, because it is an activity that is purposeful and meaningful to me. When I create using hebel the end result is an object, a product which is not necessary for anything or does it makes a difference to the world. It is also classified as “work” because it requires my time and skill for a sculpture to be accomplished, also because it is something that I want to do.</span></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Ardent, (1958) describes work as “against necessity (labour)” (p.7).</span></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Before I began this degree, I would create sculptures on a regular basis and usually on a weekend day. I was often commissioned to produce particular sculptures; I would attend the weekly markets, arts & craft exhibitions and facilitate school holiday programmes for children. The above quotes from Green and Ardent, suggests that this would have been somewhat like “labour”. Sculpting was like labour as it did become an activity that was characterized by necessity.</span></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"> If I was unable to engage in my activity of hebel sculpture, I would survive but I do not feel I would have ”occupational balance” within my life.</span></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small;">Christian and Townsend (2010) suggests that “Affordance can be referred to as the particular arrangement of objects in the environment and to estimate the actions allowed by an object. The objects design suggests its purpose, function, and usability, and the user determines the object’s affordance” (p. 255).</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As metioned in my previous blog, I said that I would look into other affordance components. This is aesthetics and communication. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Aesthetics:</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Hendry (2008) states that aesthetics strictly speaking, is a branch of philosophy concerned with beauty and the physical ability to recognize it" (p.122).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Communication:</b></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hendry (2008) suggests that "communication is by no means limited by culture but also the choice of words and language tinged with an aesthetic quality can vary" (p. 120).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This quote has confirmed how I understand communication when I am considering engaging in hebel. I consider my family (my culture) and ask if they have thought of something that they want to do with hebel or if they had other plans which included me. </span>When creating alone my time is respected by my family and they will quietly approach if they require my attention.<br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small;">Mary Law (1998) defines affordances as the “characteristics of the environment that are uniquely identified by the person based on their cognitive style, experiences and abilities” (p.111)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

She had recently re-decorated her dining room and purchased a long rectangular eight seating table & chairs, absolutely enormous and I could just picture a long rectangular candle hebel piece in the centre. Knowing Leigh like I do she would appreciate the clean lines of a rectangular hebel piece, clean and fresh in appearance and I will place light yellow tea light candles in, to highlight the light yellow that she has chosen as a complementary colour.</i></span><span style="color: black;"></span></div><div style="text-indent: -18.0pt;"><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Just what is ergonomics?</span>,<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> Caulton and Dickson 2007, state that ergonomics is about "constantly make slight invisible adjustments to an activity to adapt to the needs of those taking part and ensure that it continues to work for its intended purpose" (p.93).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Absolutely, but let's keep things simple. Ergonomics is also the science of making things comfy and considering the person/activity and environment together. All of this makes things efficient. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This snippet below is from literature called, The craft room; What’s going on in there? by Occupational Therapist Tess Bowden and has been retrieved from a paper studied last year called Adaptive Living – Occupation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“One of my colleagues had prepared for my arrival by ordering some craft supplies so I could start straight away. I set a regular time for the group and based it on activities that people wanted to try. The craft room was an internal space with only small skylight windows for natural light and I wanted to make the environment comfortable, inspiring and welcoming!” (p.14).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This has shown me the considerations that are required to provide the necessary tools, space and opportunities for social interaction to be successful. All of these factors are Ergonomics! </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Let’s now relate this to my activity of hebel sculpture.</span></b><br />

This is a highly specialised area I have a strong interest in this feild and hope to one day be out there working with people and assistive equipment </span>that can work with the individual needs of people requiring equipment to enable them to participate and independantly do activities of their choice - quite amazing!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I will begin by defining the term, looking at one piece of equipment that we experienced in the tutorial and look into other pieces of equipment that can assit people. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Definition:</b></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Assistive equipment can be defined as "any item, piece of equipment or product system whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized that is used to increase or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities" (Cook & Hussey, 2000, pp.5).</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It can also be defined as, assistive technology is a piece of technology or equipment (usually required to be an electronic device) that will assist a person to perform their daily occupations, eg communication or working at the computer. A device will be meet the needs of a specific individual and can be very costly. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Assistive Technology devices can help improve physical or mental functioning, overcome a disorder or impairment, help prevent the worsening of a condition, strengthen a physical or mental weakness, help improve a person's capacity to learn, or even replace a missing limb".</span> </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">http://www.rehabtool.com/at.html</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">There are many websites that provide information on assistive technology. Here are a few that I came across.</span></b></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">http://assistive.technology.proteor.com/</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">http://eatwebsig.ning.com/ </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">http://www.rehabtool.com/at.html</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">http://www.starmobility.co.nz/</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Not only is specially designed equipment available to assist an individual with a disabliity but ordinary everyday items can be used as assistive equipment. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Take a look at this blogger site http://suffolkwiiproject.blogspot.com/ of teachers using the Wii console and games in the classroom. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This project is led by Su Harris (Suffolk L&T Adviser for Primary English) and involves five KS2 teachers from Suffolk working together to develop the use of the Nintendo Wii in both literacy and across the curriculum. Just goes to show how adaptable resources can be used in different settings!<br />
<br />
I have chosen to use the Wii Console & Resort Games in my assignment for PO1 and it has been interesting to research about how devices like the Wii can assist individuals with their recovery from illness/conditions.Fasinating! <br />
<br />
<b>Tutorial: </b><br />
Trev Wilson from Star Mobility and Disability Centre came and introduced us to the great big world of assistive technology. He explained how equipment & devices can support areas of impairment for an individual.<br />
About 2 years ago I worked alongside Trev and an Occuaptional Therapist in Thames to support an individual with communication difficulties. The various types of aids were trialled by the individual until one in particular was found to be the best, this is known as The Tango. Together the individual, other staff and I took photos of places most frequently accessed and uploaded then into the tango then would add voice messages to match the photos. The Tango supported the individual to communicate his needs and interests and as far as I know is utilising it well.<br />
<br />
During the tutorial I looked specially at the talking photoalbum. We were givent he opportunity to use an A5 size one. They are also available in A3 and A4 sizes. This photoalbum had many leaves where to dispaly photos or pictures (like we did to put together a reciepe to amke a banana smoothie). Each page has a button to activate a function of recording a 10 second message, this can be an instruction or a message. For all up to date prices see Star Mobility Website <span style="font-size: small;">http://www.starmobility.co.nz/</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This assistive device will provide an individual with both visual and auditory prompts, great for those with sequencing difficulties. It allows the user to move on to the next step in their time which would be very assistive with an individual with cognitive difficulties like memory loss. This increases an individual to increase their occupation susing such a device. It could also be used by family members wanting to provide stimulation about other family members or places and could therefore increase communications and interests.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Not only does this photoalbum provide all of the above, it was fun and easy to use!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Take a look at the above or below suggested web sites, I cant promise you will be as interested as i am but it will really surprise you as to how many types of assistive equipment is out there to be used to allow individual to experience life!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Well folks, thats all. This was the last entry required for PO1, it has been a mixed experience. Very frustrating at times, blogs moving all around the site for no apparent reason (though I do know the only one that can be blamed is the editior, me hehe) but on the whole I have learnt so much more than I had anticipated. Thank-you for taking the time to look through my blog site I hope you have been inspired like I have :) </span><br />

<strong>Adaptive Equipment:</strong><br />
<br />
My first feild work placement was based at and Acute Surgical and Medical ward in a hospital. Here the team of Occupational Therapist were working with patients to assit them to return home and often issued the clients adaptive equipment to support them with their ADL's at home. Adaptive equipment are devices that are used to assist with completing activities of daily living.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Digital images can be stored in the cameras inbuilt memory or on a SD Card (Secure Digital Card), transfered to a computer to a shared position (ie pictures, documents) via a USB cord (universal serial bus). These images can be manipulated not only on the same camera but also on the computer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>"A new technology is rarely superior to an old one in every feature"</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For me this statement says how the latest and greatest may have add zoom, mega pixels, colour, style, detail capabilities but at the end of the day the function remains the same! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b></b>What do I consider to be some of the pluses and minuses digital camera technology holds in relation to more traditional film based camera's?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">+ are digital cameras allows the user to delete, alter, print and crop immediately </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- are digital technology<b> </b>removes the original unique occupation of being able to develop the film yourself. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Given the prevalence of image capturing and distribution using I.T, what ethical issues may arise with their use?</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Those who's image has been captured may not of given their consent to have their picture taken. These images could be publicly displayed and cause a problem for whom ever concerned. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Prior to taking a photo the other day of one of my study group buddies I asked for their consent. Often when the camera operator asks, then people do not object.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Briefly discuss some of the ways that digital images could, or are being used in O.T practice.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Digital cameras are useful for taking images for persons with hearing and/or speech difficulties. The picture board system for those with learning difficulties is another example of where digital images are used to give choices to participate in tasks and as a communication tool. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Occupational Therapists take photographs of clients or their homes for pictorial references in reports such as applying for extensions on an existing home for someone with a disability. </span><br />

The Ethical Issues of using I.T will be briefly discuss too.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Definition:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Information Technology according to Tech Terms.com The Tech Terms Computer Dictionary (2011) states " It refers to anything related to computing technology, such as networking, hardware, software, the Internet, or the people that work with these technologies. Many companies now have IT departments for managing the computers, networks, and other technical areas of their businesses. IT jobs include computer programming, network administration, computer engineering, Web development, technical support, and many other related occupations. Since we live in the "information age," information technology has become a part of our everyday lives. That means the term "IT," already highly overused, is here to stay.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://www.techterms.com/definition/it</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">My definition of I.T: </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For me, Information Technology refers to anything related to computer technology, such as networking, hardware and software. Especially the Internet and its capabilities of communication, both visual and auditory. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>History</b>: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Technology has and always will develop, it is forever changing. When you think of just a decade or so ago</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> it was not a common sight to see everyone with a mobile phone. Do you recall your first phone? I can and it could not do anything but make a call. My current phone can send & recieve txts, calls & emails, access the internet, take photos and possible has more functions that I havn't discovered. All forms of I.T have altered and there will always be something new!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the May 1970 issue of <i>Popular Science</i> magazine <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_C._Clarke">Arthur C. Clarke</a> was reported to have predicted that satellites would one day "bring the accumulated knowledge of the world to your fingertips" using a console that would combine the functionality of the Xerox, telephone, television and a small computer, allowing data transfer and video conferencing around the globe.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My experience with I.T ranges from emailing, typing up assignments, accessing the internet for the O.T papers, researching, uploading photos, social networking, using a camera on a mobile phone, purchasing items/tickets and helping my children to find information they need for school homework. I have experienced some infuriating moments when using many forms of I.T and this blogger site has been one of them too.<br />
</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Problems and Benefits:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All types of Information Technology relies on a source of electricity or battery power. To access the internet there must be a service provider attached to the device and the user must know how to operate it, even if just in the simplist of ways. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The benefits of I.T can mean the world of difference for many people. Communicating with others, online shopping, education, paying bills & banking etc etc. Occupational Therapy can assist a person using I.T if it suits the goal of the individual.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Common Place:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">is described by Dictionary.com as</span><br />
<div class="dndata" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">ordinary;</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword">undistinguished</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword">or</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">uninteresting;</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">without</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">individuality:</span> </span><span class="ital-inline"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">a</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">commonplace</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">person.</span> </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I feel that I.T has become a common place occupation. People of all ages access and utilise I.T for numerous reasons. I.T does not only occur within businesses, shops, banks etc but nowdays it is commonly used within the home. </span></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Domain of O.T:</b> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The Occupational Therapists domain of concern is Occupation and I can see that I.T can be a very useful tool for Occupational Therapist to use. It can give the OT many different methods to assist a client to reach their goals. There are a variety of social sites on the internet like Facebook and for a young client it is important that the OT knows how it could be of benefit to them, just like an educational site or emailing could be too.The use of these sites and this ype of I.T could be a useful Therapuetic Tool giving a client an opportunity to engage in an occupation that has meaningful purpose to them.</div><br />
