Therapy In The Kitchen. Miss Elsie Guthrie (left), a patient at the Parkview Medical Facility, tries her hand at using a portable mixer, with the help of Mrs. Gordon Allen, a student occupational therapist. Parkview's kitchen, part of a two-room apartment, is available to patients who wish to find out how well they will function again in their kitchens at home. The apartment will be used to house a college student or perhaps the entire family of a handicapped person, so that they can learn, on the spot, how to care for him. Patients also may practice household tasks before they go home.
