Use of videotape in occupational therapy.
The use and production of videotapes in occupational therapy are expected to increase in the future. A survey of 54 occupational therapy curricula and 59 hospital-clinics showed that 71 percent of the respondents use videotapes. Of that group, 70 percent produce videotapes for occupational therapy. Forty-six percent of the producers of occupational therapy videotapes make them available to others. Ninety-two percent of the respondents indicated a need for reviews of films and videotapes pertinent to occupational therapy, either in a directory--or a directory, with monthly reviews of new materials in the Occupational Therapy Newspaper or AJOT. A listing of subject areas most needed in a videotape format was also compiled.
