The case report that follows launches a new format in AJOT. Hopefully it will be followed by a flurry of others submitted by readers. The idea for the format was initiated by AOTA's Commission on practice as a means to document the practice of occupational therapy. Jeanne Melvin, chair of the Physical Disabilities Special Interest Section, who took on the responsibility of implementing this format and establishing guidelines for writing a single case report, described three goals of these reports. 1) to provide a model of effective occupational therapy for a specific clinical situation. 2) to share treatment methods, and 3) to create a written statement testifying to the value and effectiveness of occupational therapy that can be used to help educate physicians, administrators, and other professionals.
