This book is a response to the need for pedagogical materials in the education of professionals who will provide activity programs and interventions to older adults in a variety of service settings. Foundation information about aging and the elderly is presented in the first two units, as well as a basic introduction to normal aging processes, such as common illnesses, diseases, and disabilities that affect older persons. Units III and IV provide entry-level information about therapeutic intervention which uses activities as the primary treatment modality. Professional practice topics such as assessment and program planning are covered, as well as special considerations when serving older adults. The last unit pertains to documentation and evaluation, ethical considerations and standards of practice, and future trends affecting therapeutic activity intervention. This book provides activity specialists with a valuable resource for planning and implementing intervention programs.
