Response: Due to the response by the local paramedics and excellent treatment at local medical facilities, the physical wound is treated quickly. However, the trauma, loss, and grief will linger for the child and his family. When the child returns to school, if the child was right handed, is it reasonable for his teacher to expect that he will write his name the same way he did before the accident? Of course not. His right arm and hand are no longer available for completing the simple task of writing his name on his papers. In situations like this, the child typically receives occupational therapy services where he is taught a variety of interventions to compensate for the physical limitations he may encounter. For example, he may learn how to write with his left hand, how to keyboard with one-hand, how to use a speech recognition system, and how to use a rubber stamp so that he can quickly sign his name.
