Treatment Strategies in
the Acute Care of Stroke Survivors
"I cannot begin to express my adulation in your efforts towards putting together this fine and much needed multi-media resource on acute neurological rehabilitation - not only for practicing therapists and their continuing education needs, but also for supplementation to entry-level curriculum at the graduate medical education level as we incorporate your university and faculty editions into the clinical neurological courses of our doctorate in physical therapy program."

Treatment Strategies in
the Acute Care of Stroke Survivors
"The manual is extremely organized and easy to follow. I have decided to use "Treatment Strategies in the Acute Care of Stroke Survivors" for a Rehab Conditions class that I teach. I am excited about using your series, as it brings the clinic into the classroom!"

Teaching Independence:
A Therapeutic Approach to Stroke Rehabilitation
"The "Teaching Independence: A Therapeutic Approach to Stroke Rehabilitation", with its focus on the caregiver, is a great introduction to basic day-to-day management of persons who have survived a stroke. For my students, many of whom have had limited experience in working with people who have survived strokes, this is an excellent place to start. The down-to-earth approach, relaxed pace and very real situations make these videos a great introduction to NDT for my students. They love seeing real people, real families and real situations. This authenticity makes the ideas and techniques much more compelling and accessible for the student. I love the very occupation-based approach and clear explanations; the training manual is also a good support for the students."

Functional Treatment Ideas & Strategies In the Treatment of Adult Hemiplegia
"Functional Treatment Ideas" is one of the best resources that I have seen for teaching physical therapy or occupational therapy students the necessary skills to treat a client with hemiplegia. The manual is well-organized, moving from evaluation and clinical reasoning to preparatory techniques and functional activities and the DVDs are
an invaluable asset. Being able to watch Jan Davis interact with and treat "real" patients gives them insight into movement patterns and deficits, and also the ability to see how the interventions "work". The worksheets allow the students to practice clinical reasoning skills outside of the classroom or lab setting. It really hones in their observation skills. I am so excited to share this resource with my students."

Functional Treatment Ideas & Strategies In the Treatment of Adult Hemiplegia
"The "Functional Treatment Ideas" series offers approaches to clinical reasoning, using an NDT framework. It allows the students to start thinking more like practitioners, while retaining the same very client-centered approach of the earlier series. The videos very successfully demonstrate how to incorporate motor learning concepts with NDT, which I greatly appreciate. Again, the preparatory activities are beautifully demonstrated and explained thoroughly by the printed manual. The videos are very well organized to allow the student to practice the demonstrated techniques in a logical sequence. Even better, the footage of purposeful (functional) activities wonderfully illustrates the application of NDT and motor learning for real people in real-life situations. These segments truly get the students thinking more clearly about the vast therapeutic possibilities of ordinary activities. I love that these videos not only teach about the processes involved in using NDT, but also about the process of occupational therapy itself. Bravo and many thanks to all of you for doing such fine work!"
