Occupational Therapy Practice and Research

In the spring of 1985, 52 finalist occupational therapy students in Liverpool completed questionnaires relating computer experience on clinical placement to needs for changing computer curriculum content in college. Computing must now be regarded as a common treatment medium: More than half of the students worked in a department with at least one computer for client treatment. However, use of the new technology was not optimal and the reasons for this are discussed. The observed applications for computing are reported, as are student recommendations for future college-based computer training.
