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.</p>
