Chapters & learning objectives
1. Personal Meaning of Grooming
How, when, and where people groom is highly variable, culturally meaningful, and can contribute to individualism. In this chapter, the instructor will highlight the habits, routines, and roles that contribute to the meaning of grooming for people with and without a disability.
2. Task-Specific Interventions for People With Decreased Standing Tolerance or Endurance Issues
New limitations in physical skill and endurance can create disability in grooming. In this chapter, you will consider how limitations in standing tolerance and physical endurance affect grooming and apply certain adaptations/modifications to enhance success.
3. Task-Specific Interventions for People With Limitations in Upper Extremity Coordination and/or Muscle Strength
New limitations in physical skill and endurance can create disability in grooming. In this chapter, you will consider how limitations in fine motor coordination and strength can affect grooming and apply adaptations/modifications to enhance success.
4. Task-Specific Grooming Interventions for People With Cognitive Limitations: Part One
New or slowly occurring limitations in cognitive and visual skills can create disability in grooming. In this chapter, you will consider how limitations in arousal, attention, sequencing, organization, and initiation affect grooming and apply adaptations/modifications to enhance success.
5. Task-Specific Grooming Interventions for People With Cognitive and Visual Limitations: Part Two
New or slowly occurring limitations in cognitive and visual skills can create disability in grooming. In this chapter, you will consider how limitations in appropriate object use, memory, low vision, and hemianopsia affect grooming and apply adaptations/modifications to enhance success.
6. Use of Clinical Reasoning to Combine Adaptations for Multiple Deficits
Many of the patients we see have multiple and complex areas of disability which may include physical, cognitive, and/or visual issues. In this chapter, you will use clinical reasoning to consider when it is appropriate and complimentary to combine adaptations.
