			<description><![CDATA[Very interesting article! I work in an organization where I speak to a lot of senior citizens who feel lonely and needing therapy and care. I would gladly raise this topic for them something that might interest them as well.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was an OT for forty years. I agree with you. I remember learning to use crafts with OT to increase eye/hand coordination. But over the years some OT's lost track of these benefits and instead used exercise modalities. Results are sometimes less helpful for increasing mobility and Activties of Daily Living functions.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank-you!!! As an OT for over 30 years I believe my profession has mis represented itself and been misrepresented by others in terms of the underlying principles which guide my philosophy as an OT - ACTIVITY which is meaningful to the Individual has the power to improve people's lives after illness. We have been marginalised and sidelined by health services which are cost driven and want quick discharge, so not providing the opportunity to work with patients to achieve the optimum level of function. A wonderful article which clearly identifies the level of analysis OT undertake when using a particular activity.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Excellent article. I am an occupational therapist as well as a quilter and I agree with all of Ms. Bergmann's points. Her breakdown of the task of sewing and how it relates to self care skills is very well done.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Before I retired, I was a psychotherapist . I used crafts in many ways with my patients. They were useful in developing rapport with teenagers, and calming for the severely mentally ill. Crafts seem to have a healing component, not only for the patient, but for the therapist, too, after a long day helping others.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is a good article. My mom who loved needle work developed Alzheimers. At first she would little flat dolls like ginger bread men and make them look like people using thread and a hand sewing needle. Later as her disease progressed I would draw designs on muslin, give her a large eyed needle and thin crochet cotton. She would spend hours working on her project of following those lines. When I finally had to put her in a nursing home the staff would not let her have those supplies or take the time to help her. So life for her just became walking back and forth down a hallway and lying in bed except when I would visit and take her out for walks. She went down hill very quickly after having to give up her needlework.]]></description>
