Well, it is a dictionary; 2/3 of the book is medical definitions and acronyms, the rest of the stuff, relevant to OT, is OK but really only a dozen or so things you could have googled and printed out from the internet. It is all in BW to boot. If you need a dictionary I guess it is a good thing, but as an OT reference it doe snot offer much.

As a a second year master student I am so glad I found this reference! I feel like I am 10x more equipped for my level II fieldwork. My only wish is that I had found this sooner. I think all OT programs should require this as a reference tool. SO HELPFUL!!

Wish I had this throughout undergrad and my graduate program ! Great appendices- info all in one book for quick refresher !

I received this book and discovered upon using it for class that the pages were severely out of order!

This book is great for any new COTA or OTA student!

This is a book you want to keep. Truely a reference book.

excellent bk

I wish this was spiral bound. Since the spine of the book is so wide it is difficult to flip through the pages. I am going to UPS store tomorrow to see if I can make this a spiral book
