Range of Motion (ROM) is the potential movement a joint can move in various directions or planes.
It can be active (AROM): Movement is performed by the individual. It can be passive (PROM): Movement is applied outside of the individual. For the purpose of adapting Alive Activities, it will be assumed that the OT will use clinical judgement in the type of ROM. Unless otherwise stated, the activity can be implemented using both AROM and PROM.

Welcome! My name is Kareen.
I'm a Pediatric Occupational Therapist as well as an Educational Administrator.
My passion is to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice for OT and Related Service Providers to develop more confidence within their practice!
After 33+ years of practicing occupational therapy, I am committed to empower and educate other related service providers to learn, grow and be confident!
With 9 years as an educational director for a growing related service team, I love to assist and support children and providers as an educational leader. One area I have jumped into with two feet is Tiered Intervention( Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered System of Supports). Other areas I have focused on as a leader as are: workload versus caseload, development of resources and screening tools as well as servant leadership skills.
​
My occupational therapy specialty areas are the pediatric population, the school setting, tiered intervention and sensory integration. I also have a passion and advocate for incorporating spirituality in client centered care.
