“…As technologies challenge our thinking about what is assistive technology, and what is just good design for all, we have an opportunity to guide society’s reconceptualization of how our designs can address “spatial injustice,” currently experienced by people living with disabilities. To quote Gauci and Callus (2015), “a politics of disablement must be a politics of space that has regard to the different ways in which disablism is manifest in and through place” (p. 1284). If planners are going to redesign our cities for autonomous vehicles, for example, it is imperative that health professionals, such as occupational therapists, and end users be at the table to advocate and be a voice for all citizens.…”

(as cited in Gauci & Callus, 2015, p. 1284)One wonders, if Hawking had lived for another 20 years, would supermarkets, cinemas, and restaurants remain as he knew them? Would the changes in the ways we do our grocery shopping, watch our movies, and have meals with our friends and family change the experience of space for people living with and without disabilities?…”

Background. While occupational therapy's inception was from the Arts and Crafts movement and the moral treatment movement with war veterans, the profession has evolved to requiring a professional entry-level master's degree to practice, and involves complex relationships with clients across the life span. Throughout history, a consistent impact of each industrial revolution has been the loss of jobs to automation. This consequence is even more profound today with the exponential growth of innovations and automation. Purpose. The objectives of this article are to (a) set the context by reviewing the evolution, or five eras, of occupational therapy in Canada; (b) present what is meant by the "Fourth Industrial Revolution"; and (c) examine the technological innovations faced by occupational therapists and our clients as we enter the "sixth" era of occupational therapy in Canada. Key Issues. Although occupational therapy, as a profession, has low risk for automation, a great number of our clients will not be able to reskill fast enough to keep up with job market requirements. Telerehabilitation, the Internet of Things, virtual reality, 3-D printing, robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous vehicles are challenging ways occupational therapists provide services to clients. Implications. It is recommended that occupational therapists engage with disciplines beyond current typical connections, as our expertise is called upon to advocate for ourselves and our clients who are end users of these technologies.

“…Alors que les technologies remettent en question notre façon de concevoir la technologie d'assistance et ce en quoi consiste une bonne conception universelle, nous avons la possibilité d'orienter la reconceptualisation de la société quant à la manière dont nos conceptions peuvent aborder « l'injustice spatiale » dont sont actuellement victimes les personnes handicapées. Selon une citation de Gauci et Callus (2015), « une politique en matière de handicap doit être une politique spatiale qui a un regard sur les différentes façons par lesquelles la discrimination face au handicap se manifeste dans différents lieux et d'un lieu à l'autre » (p. 1284). Si les planificateurs souhaitent reconceptualiser nos villes en fonction des véhicules autonomes, il est essentiel que les professionnels de la santé, comme les ergothérapeutes et les utilisateurs soient présents à la table de discussion pour défendre les intérêts et se faire les porte-parole de tous les citoyens.…”

“…Dans les prochains 200 ans, nous pourrions quitter le système solaire et nous diriger vers les étoiles. Mais, en attendant, nous aimerions pouvoir nous rendre au supermarché, au cinéma et au restaurant » (Gauci et Callus, 2015, p. 1284). Si Hawking avait vécu encore 20 ans, est-ce que « les supermarchés, les salles de cinéma et les restaurants » seraient encore conçus de la même manière que maintenant?…”

Abré gé Description. Bien que l'ergothérapie soit issue du mouvement Arts and Crafts et du traitement du moral des anciens combattants, la profession a évolué vers l'adoption de la maîtrise préalable à l'entrée en exercice de la pratique et elle fait appel à l'établissement de relations complexes avec les clients tout au long de la vie. À travers l'histoire, chacune des révolutions industrielles a eu un impact systématique, soit une perte massive d'emplois en raison de l'automatisation des processus. Cette consé quence est encore plus profonde aujourd'hui avec la croissance exponentielle des innovations et de l'automatisation. But. Les objectifs de cet article sont (a) de faire une mise en contexte en examinant l'évolution ou les cinq ères de l'ergothérapie au Canada, (b) de définir ce que l'on entend par « quatrième révolution industrielle », et (c) d'examiner les innovations technologiques qui auront une influence sur les ergothérapeutes et leurs clients alors que nous entrons dans la « sixième » ère de l'ergothérapie au Canada. Questions clé s. Bien que le risque d'automatisation de la profession d'ergothérapeute soit faible, un grand nombre de nos clients seront incapables d'acquérir assez rapidement les nouvelles compétences qui seront requises pour répondre aux exigences du marché de l'emploi. La téléréadaptation, l'Internet des objets, la réalité virtuelle, l'impression 3D, la robotique, l'intelligence artificielle et les véhicules autonomes sont en train de transformer la façon dont les ergothérapeutes offrent des services aux clients. Consé quences. Il serait judicieux pour les ergothérapeutes de s'allier à des disciplines différentes de celles avec lesquelles ils collaborent habituellement, car leur expertise sera sollicitée pour défendre leurs propres intérêts et ceux de leurs clients, qui sont les utilisateurs finaux de ces technologies. Financement : L'auteure n'a bénéficié d'aucune aide financière pour réaliser ces travaux.

Gift from the gods? Dyslexia, popular culture and the ethics of representation

In 2010, 21 st Century Fox released Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief: an action-adventure film aimed at young adults, based on the first of a series of five books by the American author, Rick Riordan. To date, the book series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, has sold over 20 million copies worldwide (Mead 2014), and the film has grossed over $200 million (Box Office Mojo 2010). A sequel to the film, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, was released in 2013, also exceeding $200 million in global receipts (Box Office Mojo 2013). A number of spin-off productions have been created, including a second five-book series, The Heroes of Olympus.The series' plot, inspired by the Harry Potter series of novels/films, sees the eponymous Percy, a struggling student from a troubled home in New York, discover that he actually possesses superhuman parentage: his full name is Perseus, and he is the son of the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon. Called by Poseidon and the other gods to undertake a series of quests, the books and films detail Percy's various adventures, alongside several fellow teenage demigods, which culminate with him successfully defending Olympus against a host of invading titans. Percy is offered immortality as reward, but refuses, so that he might stay with his friends on Earth.In its writing, the series is perhaps unremarkable, and it has encountered little critical attention (cf. Morey and Nelson 2015). It does, however, provide a useful point of entry for examining the representation of dyslexia in popular culture. Originally, the tales were told by Riordan to his son, who has dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as bedtime stories. To let his son know, in Riordan's words, "that being different wasn't a bad thing", Riordan gave Percy dyslexia and ADHD (Riordan 2005). Both are central to Percy's character and reformulated by Riordan into gifts, contrary to common perceptions of dyslexia and ADHD, especially from educational perspectives, as learning difficulties (Rose 2009). While such educational perspectives have limitations, they are useful in summarising the difficulties experienced by those with dyslexia -leaving aside, for the moment, the question of how best to conceptualise the cause of such difficulties (see below). 1 The definition of the Rose Report (2009, 10), on dyslexia and literacy difficulties, remains the most influential and commonly-cited definition of dyslexia in the UK: 1 The paper uses 'dyslexic' as adjective, but not noun. This reflects usage by research participants interviewed for the UK Dyslexia Archive (see below).
