Overview

"This work demonstrates how important an individual's personal, familial and cultural characteristics are to their receptiveness and response to therapy. It aims to help occupational therapists and physical therapists develop effective interventions by showing them how to avoid cultural stereotypes and improve communication across cultural boundaries. It also shows them how to define culture, understand the uniqueness of each client's culture and appreciate how their own medical acculturation affects their view of clients and their families. ""Meaning of Culture in Pediatric Rehabilitation and Health Care"" provides an update on the changing demographies of American society and aids understanding of how culture influences care seeking, care giving, and acceptance of health care for children. Specific advice on educating yourself and your associates about culture and communicating with persons from different cultures is featured to help OTs and PTs offer effective intervention."
