Occupational therapists address the physical, cognitive, psychosocial, sensory, and other aspects of occupational performance in a variety of contexts to support engagement in everyday life activities that affect health, well-being, and quality of life. Occupational therapy services are provided for the purpose of promoting health and wellness and are provided to those who have or are at risk for developing an illness, injury, disease, disorder, condition, impairment, disability, activity limitation, or participation restriction. An occupational therapist provides interventions based on evaluation and which emphasize the therapeutic use of everyday life activities (i.e., occupations) with individuals or groups for the purpose of facilitating participation in roles and situations and in home, school, workplace, community and other settings.

Remember when we first met Alex he hadn't even seen Derek since they went to juvenile detention. For all these years - they've been apart. The brothers say they are grateful for all this - but something's been missing. Kathryn Medico: He ended up being in- a juvenile institution for seven years, which I feel was completely appropriate now, had we just gone ahead and given him 15 or 20 years to think about it, I really think we wou- he would not be salvageable. Kathryn Medico believes Alex was saved - when he was taken out of the adult prison system. And the King brothers, they say, were the lucky ones. But the fact is, is that it just doesn't happen very often.ĭan Dailey, Kathryn Medico, and others- the random people who surfaced in these boys lives have come to agree on at least one point: Children should not be tried as adults. Jurors said it was Alex's banal yet horrifying description of the murder scene that told them the boys weren't in Rick Chavis car at all: They were there in the house, present at the killing.ĭan Dailey: You know, we pay a lot of lip service to giving kids a second chance.

The jurors almost certainly noticed that childish demeanor, but what did it mean? That these children were so emotionally detached that they really could have beaten their father to death? Or that they were so infantile they could be manipulated into covering for Rick Chavis? Kathy: when James Stokes, the attorney for Alex, was giving this very impassioned plea before the jury, fighting for this child's life literally, he finally went and- and he sat down at the defense table and looked over at Alex to see Alex's reaction.
