Review: Comprehensive and useful tool for OTs - This book was not part of my school’s curriculum, but I have since recommended that they add it. I bought this while studying for the NBCOT, and it was very helpful. I found that a lot of the rationales for practice questions cited this textbook. It uses example scenarios and explains things very clearly. Review: Great book in great shape - This book was in pristine condition! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #584,041 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #91 in Occupational Therapy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 305 Reviews | ## Images ![Pedretti's Occupational Therapy: Practice Skills for Physical Dysfunction - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dVrZqmFxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive and useful tool for OTs *by J***N on February 7, 2019* This book was not part of my school’s curriculum, but I have since recommended that they add it.

We are using Trombly and Radomsky, and I have found this text to be much more useful to my learning.
