Playing Games
The occupation i have chosen to look at is gaming. What is a game? A competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance on the part of 2 or more persons who play according to a set of rules, usually for their own amusement or for that of spectators. (Dictionary.com, 2012). this occupation was present in both my first and second fieldwork placements but more so in my second. the use of games was done to influence and help people get people interacting with each other. i was involved with he gaming with some clients as they did not have the intellectual ability to play by themselves. some of the clients were becoming quite frustrated as they did not have the abilities to be able to do the required task. On my first placement we used gaming as a way to get the client to regain strength, grips and movement in her arm that had been weakened as a result of a brain injury. on my second placement it was used as a way to get the clients to interact with each other.

Ethical Considerations
When taking photographs of people on our placement or when others were taking photos on placement for the means of advertising or something like a case study it was a must that you have to have the patient/clients consent, in some cases the clients may not have a complete understanding of what is going on so it is your responsibility to make sure you have explained it to them.
For the photos in my slideshow I made sure all the people in them gave me verbal consent. and all the photos i got off the internet i have referenced them appropriately so it is not mistaken that i took them myself.
