Development Of The Sexual Spring Planning Manual, Hannah Belle Aldridge
Occupational Therapy Doctoral Capstones
Sexual activity plays an essential role in many individuals' lives, but some people are unable to participate in the activity as they would like to due to many underlying causes. Issues with sexuality are commonly underdiagnosed and overlooked, given the social stigmas that make individuals feel ashamed and embarrassed to discuss it with their medical providers.

Occupational Therapy Doctoral Capstones
The purpose of the current study sought to develop a comprehensive Occupation-Based Agricultural Frame of Reference to increase occupational therapists' knowledge and skills needed to provide adequate services to conventional farmers within a community-based setting to enhance their occupational performance and safety. The frame of reference will also merge the gap between occupational therapists’ knowledge and their ability to understand the “unique person, environment, occupation, and performance dynamic of farmers” to “effectively address the multiple losses that can accrue” when a farmer endures a debilitating injury or chronic condition (Hissong & Wilhite, 2008, p. CE-1).

Occupational Therapy Doctoral Capstones
Substance use recovery is a lifelong journey that is difficult to endure. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (2020), 40 60% of people with a substance use disorder (SUD) will relapse following a period of sobriety. Within the SUD recovery process, rehabilitation has a primary focus on treatment approaches that lack the component of community reintegration skills needed for sustained sobriety. The primary approaches include the AA 12 step program, counseling techniques, methadone maintenance, and cognitive retraining (Sullivan & Fleming, 2008). Bleiler (2021) suggests that “treatment of SUDs may increase in effectiveness and efficacy when approached through the …
