listen to a speech offered by Prof. Leeanne Carey

She is a well-known researcher. She is the first and only Australian OT to be the member of the American OT Foundation Academy of Research.
Her topic is about "Neuroscience makes Sense for OT."
She is using imaging techniques to verify the effect of sensory stimulation prgrams for stroke patients.

She talked a lot of OT related models (eg, daily performance/participation; client-centered) linking to the sensory components.

She is good at MRI and sensory assessment and intervention.

I told her about Karine's research and ask for her help. She was interested and agreed immediately.

Thus Karine should contact her for sensory assessment and the related techniques. Karine might visit her on the conference or her lab in the future.

However, the effect of sensory programs on daily function seems unclear OR I missed.

She spent a lot of time on OT related models. I'm wondering should this part be omitted? If so, she can spent much more time on her sensory programs, MRI, outcome measures, and future perspectives/challanges. But she might have to talk about that. Or most OT might feel she's not doing OT-related studies (ie, too component oriented). If she would give a talk for non-OT audience, the related models would not be necessary at all. These theories are not very relevant and can be simplied. Her sensory programs are making sense per sec. Non-OT can understand without any difficulties.

profession vs science
patient-centered and occupation-based
Both have to be covered?
