Many of the speaker's comments regarding obesity within the rehabilitation and medical field in general are on target. I often have to give my colleagues "the look" when they make statements regarding equipment not fitting, or stating, "I don't this will hold them. Working with sensitive patients we want to make them feel comfortable. They are aware of their weight. They do not need subtle or non-subtle comments as reminders that they are obese.

This is a very interesting topic. This topic is not researched enough specifically for occupational therapy. With the increase of obesity in the US, an increase of awareness must be noted and equipment must be developed to help patients.

in the acute care setting I work in, although the obesity is evident, it tends to be ignored as long as we have the proper equipment to address the therapy goals. This course opened my eyes to the awareness of STIGMA and real unspoken patient struggles which could be addressed, tactfully, if necessary. The statistics are so unexpected, and I was not aware that this is such a problem of such great proportions. We . have encountered many of the issues mentioned. raised awareness is the 1st step

The data on OT practitioners' views of working with clients with obesity was pretty eye-opening. I think that too much time was spent eliciting viewers' thoughts regarding the issue. I appreciate the clinical analysis opportunity, but the responses were understandably repetitive and time consuming. Maybe I'll feel differently after watching Part II of this webinar.

It was frustrating that the presenter spent so much of the course reading from her power point. and then when she opened up the chat for a few questions she just kept attending to her screen and reading the responses - a great many of which were repetitive. The information in the power point was researched and useful, but it added so much the few times the presenter actually shared something from her experience or briefly expanded on something. I am hopeful part 2 will be more useful & engaging.
