tion at Theraplay, Inc. She has both a BS and MS inoccupational therapy rom the University o Scranton

Q&A
Q&A
Q: Wy did you want to become
an occupational teapist?
A: I grew up around my aunt who
had cerebral palsy, and I would
help take care o her with my
mom and my grandparents. I also
spent my teenage years babysit-
ting young children around my
neighborhood. I loved being
around kids and helping others.
My mom pointed me toward the
eld o OT, as she was amiliar
with it rom caring or her sister
and rom talking with riends and
amily. I observed at Theraplay in
Malvern during my high school
senior inquiry, and knew OT
would be a perect t or my per-
sonality and my work ethic.
Q: Can you descibe Teaplay,
its majo ocus, and any spe-
cial sevices oeed?
A: Theraplay in Broomall is a
small (but growing!) outpatient
acility. The major ocus or occu-
pational therapy is to maximize achilds independence in his or her
ability to perorm his or her job(s)
adequately and appropriately
being a student, a playmate, a
riend, and a son or daughter. We
are constantly educating parents
and amilies, and providing them
with ideas to be carried over at
home because we realize that
work and play is happening all
day long or children, not just oneor two hours per week. What we
teach needs to happen and be
practiced daily in order to reach
independence and success, and
we emphasize this to parents. OTs
are like the middle men or help-
ing clients achieve success and
reach a good quality o lie.

Q&AQ&A
Q: Wen and ow did you stat
ee?
A: I let my job at an Approved
Private School to join the
Theraplay team in March 2010.
I knew Id be working with a
dierent clientele and knew
that Theraplay was a bit more
intensive and based under the
medical model versus the educa-
tional model. I had hopes I would
learn more with my job shit and
become a more seasoned thera-
pist, and I can say that joining the
Theraplay team has certainly met
my expectations.
Q: Typically, wat ae you day-
to-day esponsibilities as an
occupational teapist?
A: I typically have a busy day ull
o hour-long appointments and
single OT treatment sessions, as
well as some co-treatment ses-
sions with a physical therapist or
speech-language pathologist. I
also split up my day each weekand work part time or a contract-
ing agency where I am placed
in an elementary school setting.
I eel lucky I get to work in two
exciting learning environments.
Its nice to have a change in scen-
ery every once in a while, and
especially while doing what I love.
Q: Wat type o diagnoses do
you encounte most equentlywit te pediatic population?
A: Developmental delay, ne
motor delay, children with sen-
sory dysunction and intellectual
disabilities, autism spectrum
disorders, Down syndrome, medi-
cal/genetic disorders, and ADD/
ADHD to name a ew.
Q: Ae tee ote aeas o
inteest o you as an OT,
eite clinically o education-
ally, tat you plan to pusue?
A: I would love to do more with
vision therapy and work closely
with developmental optometrists.
Vision impacts everything our
kids do and it seems to be an
area o rehabilitation that is not
addressed enough.
Q: Wat ae te geatest cal-
lenges you ace in you job?
A: How ast-paced it is at my
company, and how there is not
always enough time to meet all o
our parents constant concerns
with their child (there is hardly
ever just one concern). We only
have one hour or treatment and
parent education, and it seems
to never be enough! Im just
trying to save the world and ix
everyoneis that too much to
expect?!
Q: Wat do you like most
about you job?
A: I like that I see a wide variety
o clients and have the opportu-
nity to bounce ideas back and
orth with the other therapists I
work with (PT, OT, and ST). I also
appreciate that we have so much
equipment here at Theraplay;
were able to come up with end-less activities/crats/games to
treat the kids and gear treatment
toward their speciic interests.
However, I still irmly believe that
one mans trash is another mans
treasurerecycle and save your
trash and turn them into a crat,
experiment or obstacle course
step!
Q: Wat advice do you ave
o otes tinking o ente-
ing occupational teapy?
A: You need to have a lot o
energy, be innovative, always
willing to learn, and be lexible
and able to work with others.
Q: Wat do you eel is o te
geatest concen to occupa-
tional teapists today?
A: The diagnosis o autism is
on the rise, and there doesnt
seem to be enough unding to
support treating these kids,
whether in a clinic setting or
at school. OTs have so much
knowledge about ASD and can
be a great resource or ami-
lies, teachers, and students.
Q: Wat is te most ewad-
ing pat o you job?
A: Its un! I get to play all day
and make kids happy while
they grow and explore newthings.
Q: Wat is te most impo-
tant ting youve leaned so
a as a pediatic occupa-
tional teapist?
A: Gearing treatments toward
childrens interests and preer-
ences are so important! I an
activity is motivating to thechild, then the process (task
demands) will most likely go
much smoother and be more
eective. Furthermore, the
child will be let with a more
lasting memory o the activity.
They may want to do it again,
and practice and repetition =
success! F

PArENTS ShOULD NOT worry
that proposed changes to the
medical criteria redeining a
diagnosis o autism will leave
their children excluded and
deemed ineligible or psychiatric
and medical care, says a team o
researchers led by psychologists
at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Their new study, published in the
American Journal o Psychiatry,
is the largest to date that has
tried to unpack the dierences
between the diagnostic crite-
ria or autism spectrum dis-
orders in the ourth edition o
the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual o Mental Disorders
(DSM-IV) and the proposed revi-
sion in the ith edition (DSM-5),which is expected to be pub-
lished in May 2013. These manu-
als provide diagnostic criteria or
people seeking mental-health-
related medical services.
I know that parents worry,
but I dont believe there is any
substantial reason to ear that
children who need to be diag-
nosed with autism spectrumdisorders, and provided with vital
services, will not be included in
the new criteria in this updated
manual, says the studys senior
investigator, Dr. Catherine Lord,
director o the Center or Autism
and the Developing Brain at
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospitals
Westchester campus, along with
New Defnition o Autism in
Updated Psyciatic Clinical
Manual Will Not Exclude Most
Cilden wit Autism
its ailiated medical schools
Weill Cornell Medical College
and Columbia University College
o Physicians and Surgeons.
At issue is whether DSM-5 will
capture the same individuals
diagnosed with dierent orms
o autism by the DSM-IV. The
DSM-5 proposal redeines autism
as a single categoryautism
spectrum disorder (ASD)
whereas DSM-IVhad multiple
categories and included Autistic
Disorder, Aspergers Disorder,
and Pervasive Developmental
Disorder, Not Otherwise
Speciied (PDD-NOS).
Critics have particularly wor-
ried that among the excludedwill be children now diagnosed
with PPD-NOS and Aspergers
disorder. That isnt the case,
says Dr. Lord, who is also a
DeWitt Wallace Senior Scholar
at Weill Cornell and an attend-
ing psychologist at NewYork-
Presbyterian Hospital. The study,
the largest to date and arguably,
the most rigorous, inds that
when relying on parent report,91% o the 4,453 children in the
sample currently diagnosed with
a DSM-IVautism spectrum dis-
order would be diagnosed with
ASD using DSM-V.
Many o the remaining nine
percent would likely be rein-
cluded once a clinician can
oer input, says Dr. Lord, who is
also a member o the American
Psychiatric Associations DSM-5
Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Work Group.
The study researchers also con-
cluded that DSM-5 has higher
speciicity than DSM-IVin their
study, DSM-5 criteria resulted in
ewer misclassiications.
Improving the Diagnostic Criteria
The study used three large data-
bases to evaluate DSM-5 criteria
in groups o children with DSM-IV
clinical diagnoses. The analysis,
which included a team o inde-
pendent reviewers led by the
studys lead author, Dr. Marisela
Huerta o NewYork-Presbyterian/
Weill Cornell Medical Center,
relied on a standardized 96-item
parent report and a clinician-
based measure o autism spec-
trum disorder impairments.
These two instruments were par-ticularly well-suited or the cur-
rent study because they include
items based on history and cur-
rent behavior, and they take into
account developmental level in
their design, says Dr. Huerta, an
instructor o psychology at Weill
Cornell and a proessional asso-
ciate at NewYork-Presbyterian
Hospital. This is consistent with
DSM-5 criteria, which operation-alize symptoms dierently or
individuals o dierent ages in
order to account or the eect o
development on ASD symptoms.
The changes proposed by
DSM-5 are designed to better
identiy autism spectrum disor-
ders and distinguish them rom

other conditions. According
to Dr. Huerta, The criteria or
DSM-5 are actually more inclu-
sive. For example, while DSM-IV
criteria require evidence o di-
iculties related to autism prior to
age 3, DSM-5 says that a child
has to show examples o unusual
behavior in early childhood, with
the idea that there is nothing
sacrosanct about your third birth-
day.
Other changes proposed by
DSM-5 include deining autism
spectrum disorders by two
sets o core eaturesimpaired
social communication and social
interactions, and restricted and
repetitive behavior and inter-
ests. DSM-5 reorganizes the
symptoms in these domains and
includes those not previously
included in DSM-IV, such as sen-
sory interests and aversions.
The overall issue with DSM-IV
was not that a lot o people
are diagnosed with autism whoshouldnt be, but that there is
a lot o conusion because the
criteria were not very accurate,
says Dr. Lord.
DSM-5 deliberately added and
organized things to try to bring
in and better address the needs
o people with autism spectrum
disorders o all developmental
levels and agesincluding girls,who were not represented as well
as they should be in DSM-IV, Dr.
Lord says. The goal o DSM-5 is
to better describe who has ASD
in a way that matches up with
what we know rom research,
which predicts who has the dis-
order and also relects what clini-
cians are actually looking at.
Because o the newness o the
proposed criteria, only a ew
studies have attempted to com-
pare the criteria between the
two DSMversions. Our study is
much broader, and it is important
to note that we get very similar
results when looking at three
large data sets that were collect-
ed or dierent purposes, with
diverse populations, and or vari-
ous reasons, says Dr. Lord.
The studys other contributing
authors are Dr. Somer L. Bishop
o NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill
Cornell Medical Center, Dr.
Amie Duncan rom Cincinnati
Childrens Hospital Medical
Center, and graduate student
Vanessa Hus rom the University
o Michigan.
The research was supportedby grants rom the National
Institute o Mental Health and the
National Institute o Child Health
and Human Development.

research and receives royalty

AFrICAN-AMErICAN youth
ages 12-20 are seeing more
advertisements or alcohol in
magazines and on TV com-
pared with all youth ages 12-20,
according to a new report rom
the Center on Alcohol Marketing
and Youth (CAMY) at the Johns
Hopkins Bloomberg School o
Public Health. The report is avail-able on CAMYs web site, www.
camy.org.
The report analyzes alcohol
exposure by type and brand
among Arican-American youth
in comparison to all youth. It also
assesses exposure o Arican-
American youth to alcohol
advertising relative to Arican-
American adults across variousmedia venues using the most
recent year(s) o data available.
Alcohol is the most widely used
drug among Arican-American
youth, and is associated with vio-
lence, motor vehicle crashes and
the spread o sexually transmit-
ted diseases. At least 14 studies
have ound that the more young
people are exposed to alcoholadvertising and marketing, the
more likely they are to drink, or
i they are already drinking, to
drink more.
The reports central inding
that Arican-American youth are
being over-exposed to alcohol
advertisingis a result o two key
phenomena, said author David
Jernigan, PhD, the director o
CAMY. First, brands are specii-
cally targeting Arican-American
audiences and, secondly,
Arican-American media habits
make them more vulnerable
to alcohol advertising in gen-
eral because o higher levels omedia consumption. As a result,
there should be a commitment
rom alcohol marketers to cut
exposure to this high-risk popula-
tion.
The report inds certain brands,
channels and ormats overex-
pose Arican-American youth to
alcohol advertisements:
Magazines: African-American
youth saw 32% more alcohol
advertising than all youth in
national magazines during
2008. Five publications with
high Arican-American youth
readership generated at least
twice as much exposure to
Arican-American youth com-
pared to all youth:Jet (440%
more), Essence (435% more),Ebony(426% more), Black
Enterprise (421% more), and
Vibe (328% more). Five brands
o alcohol overexposed Arican-
American youth compared to all
youth and to Arican-American
adults: Seagrams Twisted
Gin, Seagrams Extra Dry Gin,

Jacques Cardin Cognac, 1800
Silver Tequila, and Hennessey
Cognacs.
Television: African-American
youth were exposed to 17%
more advertising per capita
than all youth in 2009, includ-
ing 20% more exposure to
distilled spirits advertising.
Several networks generated at
least twice as much Arican-
American youth exposure to
alcohol advertising than all
youth: TV One (453% more),
BET (344% more), SoapNet
(299% more), CNN (130%
more) and TNT (122% more).
Radio: African-American youth
heard 26% less advertising
in 2009 or alcohol than all
youth on stations with the
most advanced measurement
data available; however, they
heard 32% more radio adver-
tising or distilled spirits. In
these markets, our station
ormats delivered more alco-hol advertising exposure to
Arican-American youth than
to Arican-American adults:
Contemporary Hit/Rhythmic
(104% more), Contemporary
Hit/Pop (14% more), Urban
(13% more) and Hot Adult
Contemporary (43% more).
Alcohol products and imagery
continue to pervade Arican-American youth culture, despite
the well known negative health
consequences, said Denise
Herd, PhD, an associate proessor
with the University o Caliornia
Berkeley School o Public Health
who reviewed the report. The
ndings o this report make clear
immediate action is needed to
protect the health and well-being
o young Arican Americans.
According to the US Centers or
Disease Control and Preventions
Youth Risk Behavior Survey, about
one in three Arican-American high
school students in the US are cur-
rent drinkers, and about 40% o
those who drink report binge drink-
ing. While alcohol use and binge
drinking tend to be less common
among Arican-American adults
than among other racial and ethnic
groups, Arican-American adults
who binge drink tend to do so more
requently and with higher intensity
than non-Arican Americans.
In 2003, trade groups or beer
and distilled spirits committed
to placing alcohol ads in media
venues only when underage youth
comprise 30% o the audience orless. Since that time, a number
o groups and ocials, including
the National Research Council,
the Institute o Medicine and 24
state attorneys general, have
called upon the alcohol industry to
strengthen its standard and meet
a proportional 15% placement
standard, given that the group
most at risk or underage drink-
ing12- to 20-year-oldsis lessthan 15% o the US population.
