When individuals have certain disabilities, these limit their performance because the structures of their bodies are not functioning properly. An Occupational Therapy Assistant must understand the body’s structures and functions in order to assist clients in their performance in light of their clients’ limitations. Modifying clients’ everyday activities, an Occupational Therapy Assistant may suggest for individuals to use community mobility by bus rather than independent transportation; clients with disabilities may not have the capacity to drive. While an Occupational Therapist Assistant’s role is in part to modify the environment to make it accessible for a handicapped person, a physical therapist’s may help the individual to walk independently again. To bring individuals to their best state of well-being, healthcare team members must collaborate interprofessionally to make performance and lifestyle goals that meet individuals’ every need. Various professionals’ must understand their clients’ disabilities to assist in improving their clients’ participation in life (ICCOTAP,…
Piercing the corporate veil describes a legal decision to treat the rights or duties of a corporation as the rights or liabilities of its shareholders or directors. Usually a corporation is treated as a separate legal person, which is solely responsible for the debts it incurs and the sole beneficiary of the credit it is owed. Common law countries usually uphold this principle of separate personhood, but in exceptional situations may "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil. A simple example would be where a businessman has left his job as a director and has signed a contract to not compete with the company he has just left for a period of time. If he set up a company which competed with his former company, technically it would be the company and not the person competing. But it is likely a court would say that the new company was just a "sham", a "fraud" or some other phrase,[1] and would still allow the old company to sue the man for breach of contract. A court would look beyond the "legal fiction" to the reality of the situation.…

Unit 4222-380 – Principles of supporting young people with a disability to make the transition into adulthood (LD311K)…
According to Sheafor and Horejsi (2001), “the strength perspective rests on the observation that it is much easier to help a client achieve positive and lasting change by building on his or her strength than by trying to eliminate his or her problems or deficiencies.” At the heart of the strengths perspective is a belief in the basic goodness of humankind, a faith that individuals, however downtrodden or debilitated, can discover strengths in themselves that they never knew existed. The strengths or empowerment approach is a crucial part of effective therapy and increasingly articulated in the social work literature (Mullaly, 1993). No matter how little or how much may be expressed at one time, as Weick, Rapp, Sullivan, and Kisthardt (1989) explain, people often have a potential that is not commonly realized. A belief in human potential is tied to the notion that people have untapped, undetermined reservoirs of mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual abilities which can be mobilized in times of need. This is where professional helping comes into play in tapping into the possibilities, tapping into not what is but what can…

How might Ms. Fuentes discuss with Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Williams social skills characteristics and needs of students with learning disabilities?…
There are two important points to note. First, the idea that learning disability workers are supporting a person. It is not a question of being in charge or in control, because choice and decision-making should lie with the person, as far as possible. Second, it is very important that these principles are part of your everyday work. There should be nothing special about them; they should be part of day-to-day life.…
