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.

Profile
About
Hello, my name is Kareen Robbins. I am an Occupational Therapist as well as an Educational Administrator.
​
As an occupational therapist (33+ years), I have worked with children in school settings, outpatient settings, homes, and childcare facilities. I am passionate about supporting and educating teachers, related service providers, and families to implement sensory integration constructs into a child's natural environment. Sensory processing skills are complex yet, simplistic. When you grasp sensory processing concepts and work with your occupational therapist, children can improve their relationships with themselves, others, and the environment. Then, they can be more successful and thrive in learning! I have had the unique opportunity to have been formally trained by "1st generation" instructors/mentors (trained and mentored by Jean Ayres) in sensory integration. For the last 28 years, since I was certified in sensory integration, I have been refining and defining what sensory processing is through successful evidence-based practical application of the theory with children 0-22 years of age.
