Abstract:
Project Threshold is a program which uses an interdisciplinary approach to assist persons with physical disabilities in solving their functional problems at home or at work. The program originated to provide rehabilitation engineering services to those persons in the community whose needs were not being met through more traditional services. As the program evolved, it was evident that an interdisciplinary team was needed to fully develop the potential of this service delivery program. Occupational therapists were identified as important members of this team because of their expertise in functional assessment, analysis of activity and teaching such activities. Pivotal to the project's success is the adherence to a thorough and sequential service delivery process. This process is illustrated by the presentation of two cases; one involving an independent living evaluation, and the other a worksite assessment.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the test...
