Respected Madam/Sir,

With reference to the subject mentioned above, I Dr……….Occupational Therapist /………… want to submit the instant representation. As youcould see the subject mentioned above, clearly indicates the issue involved inmaking this representation.

First of all I wouldlike to invite your attention to theterm of OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY as in our Country unfortunately this professionis neglected though it is helpful in allthe avenues of life and although the said Profession is having its own identity worldwide still it is neglected inour Country since long. We have been trying to ventilate our grievanceregarding grant of due and legitimate recognition to the said profession byeither forming a separate Central Council of the OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY or includingOccupational Therapy as separate Department to the OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY in thesaid Council.

I am constrained to mention that for all these years theprofession of OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY has received recognition in about 60Countries however, in other Countries the said profession has reached to thezenith but at the same time although our Country is one of those Countries whorecognize the profession still we are facing certain difficulties in gettingthe proper recognition due to the inaction on the part of Government.

“Occupational therapy” means a specialized branch of medicalhealth sciences to prevent, cure / treat or rehabilitate any physical, mentaland psychosocial illness / impairment or dysfunction. It includes examination /assessment, prescribing investigation, interpretation, establishing OTdiagnosis, treatment planning and implementation to any person for the purposeof preventing, alleviating / correcting or limiting acute & chronic illness/ impairment, dysfunction or bodily malfunction via specialized assessment andtreatment techniques, procedures and approaches.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY includes sensorimotor developmentalprocedures & techniques in NICU; and techniques & procedures forfacilitating healing and pain relief to facilitate normal sensory motordevelopment, promote health & improving context specific functionalperformance abilities. It involves application of specialized evaluation /assessment techniques, procedures and approaches; Purposeful goal-orientedactivity through latest technology, education and training in activities ofdaily living (ADL); designing, fabrication, prescription and application ofassistive technology aids & appliances; , therapeutic activities,ergonomical modifications & environmental restructuring; prevocational &vocational evaluation and training & consultation provided to individualsor groups to both indoor and outdoor patient in order to achieve optimumfunctioning, prevent disability and maintaining health and functionalperformance abilities.

‘DEPARTMENT RELATED PARLIAMENTARY STANDING COMMITTEE ONHEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE SUBMITTED THIRTY – FIRST REPORT ON PARAMEDICAL AND PHYSIOTHERAPYCENTRAL COUNCILS BILL 2007’ before Rajya Sabha on 21.10.2008. In the saidreport the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has in clear terms acceptedthe Error in the definition of OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY in the proposed bill andsuggests inclusion of OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY with a new definition. The saidcommittee on the basis of the aforesaid acceptance by the Ministry of Healthand Family Welfare in Para 9.17 of the said report observed as under:

The Committee recommended that Occupational Therapy is anindependent profession with entirely different course of study, mode oftreatment and approach in treatment and rehabilitation of patients and cannotbe directed nor can be merged with heterogeneous group of professionals likeparamedics. The Committee was informed that both ‘OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY’ is a recognizeddiscipline in educational institutions, Hospitals and medical institutionsacross the Country. The Standing Committee was also in consonance with theopinion of the Occupational Therapy professionals that there is a dire need ofthe formation of Central Council of “OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY”.

After the lapse of time the Government thereafter comes witha new proposed bill namely “THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR HUMAN RESOURCES IN HEALTHDRAFT BILL, 2009”. In fact, the said draft of the aforesaid bill comes like abolt from the blue to the Occupational Therapy professional as there is noteven a whisper of “OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY” in the entire bill.

The Occupational Therapy professionals have received a bigjolt after going through the aforesaid draft as earlier the Government hascategorically accepted that, the separate Council should be formed for“OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY”. Now in the proposed draft bill there is no mention of“OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY” at all. It appears government has again merged theOccupational Therapy profession with a heterogeneous group of professionals withintent to include them under paramedics which is unacceptable to OccupationalTherapy professionals as well as to World Federation of Occupational Therapistand WHO.

This is nothing butthe most casual approach on the part of the Government as although it is well withintheir knowledge that, it is a persistent demand of the Occupational Therapyprofessionals for formation of Central Council for the “OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY” sincelong, still they have not even included the profession in the new proposeddraft bill. However, now the Occupational Therapy fraternity is afraid that theprofession of “OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY” would cease to exist in our country.

If the Government or the concerned authorities are of theview that the profession of “OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY” is not recognized then onecan understand the callous attitude of the concerned authority or theDepartment. However, here is a case in which the authorities have categoricallyrecognized the said profession and still are not taking any action for thebetterment of not only the profession but for the betterment of public atlarge. If the National or Central Council for “OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY” is formedthen ultimate beneficiary would be public at large along with the professionalsof Occupational Therapy.

The Government from time to time also in principal agreedfor that on various occasions, however, there is no execution of the same onthe part of the Government for last so many years. In fact, the Government isnot considering the issue as seriously as it ought to be. The technicalitiesput forth by the Government can be sorted out if Occupational Therapyprofession is included in the proposed NCHRH Bill 2011as separate department.

I therefore once again humbly request the Government tokindly look into the aforesaid issue and do the needful at the earliest bytaking appropriate steps in the interest of the profession of “OCCUPATIONALTHERAPY”.

The team of OT faculty &students interacted and screened for the risk of stroke and the subsequentrehabilitative management, amongst the thousands of customers visiting theshopping mall. It gave tremendous opportunity to the students and staff to talkon stroke and OT amongst the common people and also served as OT promotionactivity as well. Being associated with a brand name brought instant attentionof the public and the media.

In this occasion Shovan Saha, HOD,Dept of OT, Manipal urge the younger generation of OT’s to initiate more andmore of such activities, activities that are novel and impacting, and will givetremendous mental strength to overcome all kind of professional setbacks.

OccupationalTherapy [OT] has been shrouded with elements of abstractness, confusion,mystery, power, unrealized potential, passion & novelty.

Thus attimes we as a professional, feel empowered with the ability to transformsomebody’s life and another moment we find ourselves shaky and doubtful aboutthe very existence as a professional.

Onemoment we feel confident another moment we lack conviction. To overcome thisstate of shallowness in our understanding we tend to choose several methods butnot necessarily the appropriate ones, the short cuts are sought after whereasthe long ones are avoided.

Thesense of OT is amazing and powerful, the thought and mindset of the therapistcan make the whole approach very meaningful, potent, wide and transparent.

Thepresentation will not necessarily be a typical presentation, rather will be inthe line of discussion and interaction. The author using his personalexperience and practices will try to respond to the fundamental difficulties asposed young graduates or would be graduates.

Thanks & Regards,

Dr.Sushant Sarang.
Convenor,
