Home Program for Occupational Therapy While on Vacation

Home Program for Occupational Therapy is a guide that can be done at home while on vacation. My son, Joaqui was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay and he is having OT (Occupational Therapy) sessions at Clinic for Therapy Services (CTS) at the University of the Philippines – College of Allied Medicine Professions (UP-CAMP) Manila since he was only 18 months old.

The Clinic for Therapy Services (CTS) is managed by the faculty members and students of UP Manila. It runs during school days only since therapy sessions were performed by the OT, PT and SP students supervised by registered therapists. It is a college-based clinic of the UP-CAMP that provides a venue for service, training, and research for the students and faculty members.

Last sessions were ended every first or second week of March. Every parents and patients were given with a Home Program booklet created exclusively for each patient in accordance with their condition, goals and development.

Therapy sessions resume in June so the patients have a two-month vacation and rely on the Home Program given to them. Every family members or guardians of the patients were advised to do the activities written on the Home Program to meet the necessary goals for the patient.

In our case, I personally discussed this Home Program to my husband and to my eldest son for us to be able to execute the activities and goals properly.

We're doing the Home Program and it's a family bonding as well.

ENERGEN: My Tummy's Best Friend

I’ve always had a history of hyper-acidity (also known as acid dyspepsia) since high school. I don’t know when or how did I get it, all I know is just it’s screwing me for over a decade. I am a slow-gainer. I was very skinny back in my elementary days. My mom let me tried different kinds of vitamins but none of them took effect on me. My dad is an OFW back then and when he comes home he jokingly asks my mom if she’s still feeding her kids because me and my only brother look like bamboo sticks (that’s what our bullies called us because we’re thin and tall) even if we get to eat whatever we want. Maybe we have a fast metabolism which everybody envies about especially now that I have kids already, eating everything that I want and still not getting fat. I remember the times that I’ve been hospitalized because of hyper-acidity. The doctor will always come up to a theory that I might be skipping meals but honestly not. Then he’ll ask me if I drink a lot of soda or coff...

Discounts and Privileges for the Persons With Disability

It was only last year when I heard about the PWD card that would give the persons with disability (PWD) the privileges entitled for their needs. The local government amended the Republic Act No. 7277, an act for providing for the rehabilitation, self development, and self reliance of persons with disability and their integration into the mainstream of society and for other purposes and otherwise known as The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons, was passed in March 24, 1992. I am a proud mom of a six-year old child with special needs. He is my second child who was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay Syndrome. Ever since he was a baby, we noticed some of his traits on lack of potential at certain points of development that made us confused about what to do so we consulted to a Developmental Pediatrician. He was born as an eight-month premature baby boy, sickly and always in the hospital for a long period of time. We're taking good care of him with unconditional love and...

What’s the Best Tasting Milk for Pregnant Women?

I just gave birth five months ago. When I was still pregnant, I was given the chance to try three different kinds of milk that is best suitable for pregnant women. Every time I visit my OB-Gynecologist, there was always a sample of milk especially made for pregnant women given by the promo representatives of each milk in the waiting area. I have tried at least three of them and I would like to give you my honest opinions regarding its taste because this kinds of milk are known to have unpleasant taste since it is loaded with vitamins and essential nutrients so it is tend to taste like medicine even if it is flavored.
