The focus of this fifth blog is to post videos related to a chosen topic of interest.

Provide a brief summary of the services offered by youtube:

Introduce a chosen topic of interest drawn from your fieldwork experience, an OT practice area or a personal occupation:

My chosen topic of interest drawn from my first fieldwork experience is the condition of Multiple Sclerosis.
See below for the five sources of online videos taken from YouTube, explaining the condition.

This video below explains Multiple Sclerosis  (MS) scientifically.

This second video below is of a MS nurse explaining the disease and some of the symptons people who have MS may experience.

This touching mini documentary below is about Dan Powell, an art professor at University of Oregon who is living with MS.

This video below is of exercises that people with MS can use, led by Mr Motivator. Exercises for standing, sitting or lying down. The DVD can be bought from www.mstrust.org.uk/moveit

This last video is all about using pilates techniques for people with MS. Check it out!!
