ABSTRACT
An occupational therapist working as a rehabilitation specialist on the hematology-oncology team for pediatric malignancy identified and sought solutions for problems encountered among 49 pediatric oncology patients and their families. The occupational therapist's role as "CARE (CAncer REhabilitation) counselor" involved working with the patient, family, and team members to meet needs and provide services other than direct medical treatment. A variety of environmental needs and psychosocial problems were identified and managed. Prospective interaction from the time of diagnosis, resulting in 63 percent solution of all problems, was more effective than intervention initiated at other stages of illness.
