“…During the 10 weeks of the language program in Korea, Addie was provided with "opportunities to practice independent living skills, develop routines to support employment, housing, and education [17] in a safe and friendly environment. These successful opportunities boosted Addie's self-esteem and confidence in her abilities and no longer stop her from interacting with her peers at the community college she attends or independently participating in her daily occupations including self-care, laundry, arranging transportation and shopping back in the USA.…”

This qualitative case study was done to gain better understanding of the factors that contributed to the successful social participation and transition to adulthood of an American adolescent, named Addie, diagnosed with epilepsy. Addie's life chart was used to describe her experience of living with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (epilepsy). Major focus of the study was an exploration of her rich and positive experience of living in Korea, away from home, for 10 weeks. Analysis of Addie's lived experience in Korea revealed two factors that facilitated her independent living there, in contrast to her previous home life; 1) Social environment and 2) Physical environment and their subcategories. Following her return home from this experience, she was able to generalize the skills gained into her own environment in Los Angeles. The findings of this study indicate that the change in these two factors increased Addie's self-esteem, confidence, motivation and opportunities for participation in meaningful social interaction, thereby increasing her chance of successfully transitioning into adulthood.

Background: Information systems for occupational therapy (OT) services need to adapt effectively for improving performance by taking advantage of digital technology. Objective: This research aimed to develop an information system for supporting occupational therapy services in the community. Methods: This study used a mixed methods research design divided into two phases. Phase I: system requirements were gathered from nine occupational therapists who represented each of the nine provinces in northern Thailand. Focus groups and in-depth interviews were used in detail to explore the system requirements for occupational therapy services in the community. This information system applied a responsive web design. Phase II: usability testing, involved thirty occupational therapists in a northern network, who were selected to evaluate an information system by using a questionnaire. Results: Results showed that participants requested two components: 1) Occupational Therapist data, and 2) a referral system. The information system could be used by occupational therapists in a northern Thai OT network to insert their own information actively for providing a referral system. The overall usability assessment was at a high level (mean ± SD = 4.27 ± 0.07). Conclusion: This study concluded that an OT digital network system may offer a strategy to support OT services from hospital to community in a complex system of healthcare.
