Discussion Questions:

The authors’ model of life balance in the textbook includes 5 dimensions of activities identified (on pages 150 and 151) that meet a person’s essential needs for pursuing a life with greater balance.

1. Briefly paraphrase the authors’ description of the five dimensions. How are these dimensions of activities affected when an individual experiences a sleep disorder or sleep problem(s)? Provide examples from your readings and/or examples from other relevant sources with appropriate in-text citations and accompanying references.

(Possible disorders: Insomnia, Narcolepsy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Restless Leg Syndrome, Jet Lag Syndrome, Interrupted sleep from concussion or mild head injury, etc.)

A) How would an occupational therapist develop a plan to assess the needs of a client with this sleep disorder?

B) How would the therapist use the evaluation findings to develop an OT intervention plan?
