Occupational Performance
Performance skills - what actions are involved in performing this occupation (e.g. use of motor skills, process skills, and communication & interaction skills)?
There is no doubt that any kind of occupation requires certain skills in order to allow the person to do well. Based on this occupation, which is make a sandwich, sadia needs to perform some of skills for example:
Motor skills: Elbow extension and elbow flexion when sadia have to spread the jam over the toast in front of her in above the table so she move her elbow joint internally and externally.
Also its include Wrist abduction and wrist adduction to move the spoon.
Fine motor skills: for example pinch to hold the spoon when sadia dip it inside the jam jar, in addition grasp skills when she hold and open the jam jar. Sadia needs to visual and cognitive skills too to recognize the materials and to understand how to deal with them? how to use them? what is the correct use for each
Some of the motor skills needed are coordination, stabilization, gripping and transporting. You need to be able to grip the bait in your hands while putting it on the rod, as well as grip the fishing pole once you have cast your bait into the water. Stabilization is also important. My family fishes on a solid dock, but some people fish on floating docks or on boats which makes keeping your balance essential for this activity. Transportation is an important motor skill when fishing. While fishing you have to be able to transport your bait from the bait bucket onto the hook, then you have to transport the hook and line from the top of the reel into the water, and then once you catch a fish you have to transport the fish off the hook and either back into the water or into storage. Even though there are many different processing skills to fishing I believe that coordination is the most important skill of fishing. While fishing you have to hold the rod in one hand, and turn the handle of the reel with the other all while maintaining your balance. You are constantly faced with completing multiple tasks a once, and coordination will help keep the activity running

We have all experienced a jet-lag before, which means we feel tired or even sick because of the time zone change that we have experienced during traveling. This change of sleeping pattern also occurs in the daily lives of those who work with irregular working hours. In hospitals it is very common to change shifts from day to night time due to the fact that hospitals are needed all day around, every day of the year. The staff members mostly take turns with the night shift, which is of course not an arbitrary decision. Due to the increasing demand for flexible working hours, there is also an increase of concerns in safety and productivity regarding the employees. This analysis discusses certain mental and physical health problems that occur with shift-work in hospitals and how these effects can hinder performance. Furthermore I will compare theory with real life practice in the field of shift work.
Subject engages in many physical activities and the objective physical description is healthy. I have seen the subject using gross motor skills in activities such as riding a bike, playing basketball, soccer, and tag. These exercises are gross motor because they use large muscles like those in the legs, and arms. I have also seen the subject displaying fine motor skills. Fine motor skills are the opposite of gross motor, instead of utilizing big muscles they utilize small muscles like the ones found in the fingers. Examples of fine motor are calligraphy, drawing a picture, playing with play dough, and playing with cards. Both types of activities are good for the physical development, and health of a child. Gross motor activities involve more muscles, and help in keeping fit. Fine motor activities target small muscles like the fingers so that you can better...

Occupational science is an emerging academic discipline which is based on the traditional values and beliefs of the occupational therapy practice as articulated by Adolph Meyer, (Yexer ,1993), (Reilly, 1962) and others. It draws on a range of theories, research methodologies and approaches in order to understand humans as occupational beings. Also, it assumes that people’s experiences in engagement in meaningful and purposeful occupations influences both performance and intrinsic motivation ( Haertl, 2007)
For every job that you have, you will need to have a certain set of skills to be successful. For example, two people are looking to be hired, but only one person will actually get the job. The two people have near identical resumes but a few things make them different. While the first person was able to articulate his ideas when he was being interviewed, the second person could not. The first person was incredibly dedicated to getting the job while the second person was not. Last but not least, the first person was able to adapt to the fast moving paced job unlike the second person. In the end the first person got the job because of his dedication, flexibility, and communication skills. It would be extremely unbeneficial to go into a job without having, in my opinion, these most important set of skills. While there are several job skills that are essential to being successful, I strongly believe that being dedicated, adaptable, and have phenomenal communication skills are the most important.
This is an area where Southwest Airlines needs to focus more of their attention. Currently, Southwest Airlines, is approximately 85% unionized and the airline is trying to negotiate seven contracts concurrently. The ramp, operations and cargo unions have been working without a contract since 2011. The pilots and mechanics have not had a contract since 2012 and the flight attendants contract expired in 2013 (Leff, 2015). In a statement made by the president of Southwest Airlines’ Pilots Association, union representatives must do something while ongoing poor decisions are being made by management that are affecting our airlines passengers (Schlangenstein, 2016). Additionally, the union is also demanding the removal of CEO Gary
Motor skills are motions carried out when the brain, nervous system, and muscles work together. The body must effectively use mind/body connection and awareness of their surroundings for the muscles and bones to develop fine and gross motor skills. Both of these motor skills start out as reflexes, the body has not learned them but they are uncontrollable movements. That is then later learned and perfected making large and...
Introduction Occupational therapy is a form of therapy for those recuperating from physical or mental illness that encourages rehabilitation through the performance of activities required of daily life (O’Brien & Hussey, 2012; American Occupational Therapy Association [AOTA], 2014). The goal of OT intervention is to increase the ability of the client to engage in everyday activities, for example, feeding, dressing, bathing, leisure, work, education (O’Brien & Hussey, 2012; & AOTA, 2014). The Mental Health Act (MHA) is the law which sets out when you can be admitted, detained, and treated in hospitals against your wishes. It is also known as being ‘sectioned’ (Institute of psychiatry, psychology, & neuroscience, 2014).
Gross motor skills moving onto fine motor skills – Gessell suggested that it made sense for children to master control of their whole arm movements before they would be able to control their fine movements i.e. fingers (holding a pencil etc)
For this assignment I had to observe a child between the age range of 0-6 for an hour and half to note their motor and physical development. Before I go in to detail about my observations of the child I must first define what motor and physical development means. Motor development can be broken down into two subcategories. One subcategory would be the gross motor skills development that use large muscle groups to complete task. Then there is the second subcategory deals with, “ Skills that involve large-muscle activities”.( Santrock, J. (2015). Children (13th ed.). Madison, Wis.: Brown & Benchmark. ) The second subcategory would be fine motor skills that, “ involve finely tuned movements” and it known as fine motor skills. Fine motor skills
Mastering fine motor skills is a very important process needed for physical and cognitive development. It is during early childhood that most children develop these skills, however there are many children that do not. A young child’s fine motor skills are developed through a vast array of activities that aide the child in doing little things such as grasping a toy as an infant, and buttoning buttons as a toddler or tying shoes when they are a preschooler. Fine motor development is the development of the small muscles in the hands and fingers. Many crucial daily activities depend on strong motor skills, such as writing, using eating utensils and getting dressed, among other things. Without fine motor skills a child will have difficulties preforming
Soft skills include paying attention, focusing, eager to learn things, open to new experiences and controlling your temper. These skills are important in life as they can help children to become more self-motivated, open-minded and learn how to safely take risks. Children develop and are able to retain information that they have learned as well as learn how to ask questions which will enable them to try to fix any imperfections that they once had. Barbara Wiler, Ph.D., deputy executive director of the NAEYC says, “Good preschools provide children with rich experiences that give them skills, information, and attitudes that prepare them for the prima...
