A Scottish Executive Review of Speech and Language Therapy, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy for Children and Speech and Language Therapy for Adults with Learning Disabilities and Autistic Spectrum Disorder
Footnotes
i The term AHP leaders refers to managers from each of the professions who provide professional leadership.
ii The research tools are available from Fiona O'May at QMUC at
fomay@qmuc,ac,uk
iii The term 'generic' therapist is often used by practitioners to mean a therapist with an adult only caseload where the caseload contains people with a mix of diagnoses or needs. For the purposes of this review, however, the term is used to describe therapists who work with both children and adults.
iv The survey sent to Local Authorities sought information about posts which require the holder to have an OT qualification - job titles other than Occupational Therapist or Senior Occupational Therapist included Community Care Worker, Senior Practitioner, Access Officer, Assistant Manager, Team Manager and Development Manager.
v Please note that the approach described as Total Communication here differs from that used in the education of people who are deaf.
