A need exists within the profession of art therapy to address issues of managed care, licensure, and provider reimbursement. While the profession struggles on both the state and national level with issues of livelihood and recognition, there are still philosophical questions within the field which remain unexplored. This article addresses a theme loosely defined as studio approaches to art therapy. The concept of art therapy within a studio space has received little formal attention in the literature. What exactly the studio approach to art therapy is remains largely undefined, although there are some identifiable characteristics such as: (1) space--the environment where the therapist, the space itself, and people who visit the space come together in a synergistic way; and (2) time--studio therapy involves little or no directives, more time than clinical forms of art therapy thus providing a more in-depth experience with the art process. Some difficulties with the studio approach are: (1) financial struggles including the difficulty in becoming a health care provider and receiving third party payments; (2) lack of understanding and acknowledgment with in the field of art therapy; and (3) recent revisions of AATA ethics documents relating to privacy and confidentiality.

Providing Occupational Therapy Using Sensory Integration Theory and Methods in School-Based Practice
AOTA recognizes SI as one of several theories and methods used by occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants working with children in public and private schools. Regardless of the theories and methods utilized, occupational therapy practitioners work within the framework of occupational therapy toward the desired outcome of health and participation through engagement in occupations that allow participation in a child's daily life (AOTA, 2008). When children demonstrate sensory-related deficits that interfere with their ability to access the general education curriculum, occupational therapy using a sensory integrative approach is appropriate.

Background The demand for employment of standardized evaluations is increasing. In Denmark, approximately 25% of all occupational therapists (OTs) are trained to use the standardized occupational therapy instrument Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS).Aims To investigate the use of AMPS within Danish occupational therapy practice and determine factors supporting or hindering the use.Material and methods An online cross-sectional survey was conducted among OTs from various settings.Results Overall, 844 calibrated OTs participated in the survey. Of these, 540 (64%) met the inclusion criteria and 486 (90%) completed the questionnaire. Forty percent of the participants used the AMPS in a standardized way during a one-month period and 56% reported being dissatisfied with the low number of AMPS evaluations completed. Five supporting and nine hindering factors were found to significantly influence the use of standardized AMPS evaluations.Conclusions/Significance Despite demands for standardized evaluations, the AMPS is not regularly used in a standardized way within Danish occupational therapy practice. Use of AMPS in clinical practice seems to be facilitated by an acknowledgement from the management and the OT’s ability to develop habits and routines. Time restraints were reported, however, time to conduct evaluations was not a statistically significant influencing factor.

Despite the growing number of Hispanics in the US and in caseloads of art therapists, previous literature on this topic is scarce and predominantly based on case studies. This survey assessed the perceptions of 27 art therapists from large metropolitan areas regarding the use of art therapy with Hispanic clients. These perceptions included client therapeutic needs, the benefits of art therapy with Hispanic clients, the limitations of art therapy with this population, as well as most and least beneficial techniques. Participants rated art therapy to a large degree as very helpful with Hispanic clients.
