The rehabilitation paradigm has tried to promote and enhance the ability of specific function of the people with disabilities, but the outcome of rehabilitation have been truly unsatisfied. As a result, increasing number of individuals, particularly among the most severely disabled, have become disaffected and have sought an alternative paradigm. According to Independent Living paradigm, the problem does not reside in the individual alone but often the solution offered by the rehabilitation paradigm-the dependency inducing features of the physician-patient or professionals-client relationship. In this study, from the viewpoint of the Independent Living paradigm, the services provided by the Center for Independent Living for the people with disabilities were evaluated. It is necessary to develop as well as spread programs in relation to services for independent living for them. Consequently, as all the persons concerned make efforts work hard with macro prospective, the disabled as consumer in this society can live independently, having their undoubted rights.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Snoezelen on the stress and attention. 10 college students participate in session of Snoezelen for 30 minutes(total 4 times sessions/ once a week). Evaluation was conducted 5 times. Participants were evaluated with CANS 3000 before and after first session. And another evaluations were conducted after per sessions(3 times sessions). The data were analysed using SPSS program. Results of Stress endurance test and Physical arousal test show significant difference. However, results of the balance of ANS test do not show significant difference. And results of attention test show significant difference. This Study show that Snoezelen affect the stress and attention of normal students. We expect that Snoezelen can affect the mental health part. Therefore we suggest that a new experiments in clinical area of Snoezelen therapy should be continued.

Methods: The 6 males and 24 females participated in this experiment, and the participators were divided into the three groups. One group was furnished with natural sound, another group conducted REHACOM, and the other group was assigned to be a control group. On conducting Natural Sound and REHACOM, we evaluated the participator with the CANS3000 both before and after, and at the middle of experiment. Results: Through the objective and scientific method, we demonstrated that REHACOM and Natural Sound affect a positive effect on improving concentration of normal students. Conclusion: Based on the results, we expect that students can improve their learning abilities using the training of concentration improvement, and we suggest that more researches and developments of the concentration-training for demonstrating clinical availability should be continued.

The purpose of this study was to review the articles for the current state and the normative study of occupational therapy assessment tools. This study reviewed the two articles for the current state occupational therapy assessment tools and eight articles for the normative study of occupational therapy assessment tools in the journal of the Korean society of occupational Therapy from 1993(Vol.1 No.1) to 2008(Vol 16. No.2).

This study examined the imporvement of bread quality with Ecklonia stolonifera Okamura extracts(EOE). When counted, the viable cell number in bread with 0.5% of EOE dramatically was decreased by about 1 log cycle as compared to that of bread without EOE. With regard to oxidation, the content of shown to have the highest antioxidative effect. The moisture contents of bread with EOE and bread without EOE were not much different during the early storge period. After nine days of storage, however, the moisture contents of bread without EOE and bread with 0.5% of EOE decrease about 16%. On the other hand, the moisture contents of bread with 1% and 2% of EOE did not change dramatically. Their moisture content was decreased by only ---% during the same storage period. Although color, lightness and redness gradually diminished with increasing amounts of EOE in bread, conversely yellowness increased. In the sensory evaluation, bread with 0.5∼2% of EOE scored the higher than with EOE. Bread with 2% of EOE scored the lowest of the various bread tested. From these results, the addintion of 2% EOE in bead had a good effect on improvement of preservation and development of quality.
