Download or read book Occupational Therapy Practice Framework Domain and Process written by Aota and published by AOTA Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As occupational therapy celebrates its centennial in 2017, attention returns to the profession's founding belief in the value of therapeutic occupations as a way to remediate illness and maintain health. The founders emphasized the importance of establishing a therapeutic relationship with each client and designing an intervention plan based on the knowledge about a client's context and environment, values, goals, and needs. Using today's lexicon, the profession's founders proposed a vision for the profession that was occupation based, client centered, and evidence based--the vision articulated in the third edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process. The Framework is a must-have official document from the American Occupational Therapy Association. Intended for occupational therapy practitioners and students, other health care professionals, educators, researchers, payers, and consumers, the Framework summarizes the interrelated constructs that describe occupational therapy practice. In addition to the creation of a new preface to set the tone for the work, this new edition includes the following highlights: a redefinition of the overarching statement describing occupational therapy's domain; a new definition of clients that includes persons, groups, and populations; further delineation of the profession's relationship to organizations; inclusion of activity demands as part of the process; and even more up-to-date analysis and guidance for today's occupational therapy practitioners. Achieving health, well-being, and participation in life through engagement in occupation is the overarching statement that describes the domain and process of occupational therapy in the fullest sense. The Framework can provide the structure and guidance that practitioners can use to meet this important goal.

Download or read book An Occupation based Culturally Responsive Practice Model for Occupational Therapy in India written by Neha Tripathi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the globe, occupational therapy practitioners are pushing for a paradigm shift towards occupation-based and client-centered rehabilitation. Evidence supports the adoption of holistic, occupation-focused, performance-oriented, and culturally responsive models of care delivery, rather than mechanistic and dysfunction-based biomechanical approaches. However, prevalent Western-centric models of practice are unable to provide a good fit to client-centered practice in Eastern contexts. Against the conceptual background, the Eastern philosophy-based Kawa model is a well-suited theoretical framework to guide evidence-based occupational therapy in India, given the reason for its origins, philosophy, and the potential for varied avenues for application, specific to the practice of occupational therapy in India. The Kawa model is both a model and a frame of reference and has the potential to be effective in clinical as well as non-clinical applications. The purpose of this evidence-based project is to encourage Indian occupational therapy practitioners to align themselves with the profession's paradigm shift, utilizing a theoretical model relevant to their culture and practice contexts, and join hands in global collaboration for the benefit s of the profession and its clients.

Download or read book Occupational Therapies without Borders Volume 2 E Book written by Frank Kronenberg and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The companion text to Occupational Therapy without Borders - Volume 1: learning from the spirit of survivors! In this landmark text writers from around the world discuss a plurality of occupation-based approaches that explicitly acknowledge the full potential of the art and science of occupational therapy. The profession is presented as a political possibilities-based practice, concerned with what matters most to people in real life contexts, generating practice-based evidence to complement evidence-based practice. As these writers demonstrate, occupational therapies are far more than, as some critical views have suggested, a monoculture of practice rooted in Western modernity. Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu captures the ethos of this book, which essentially calls for engagements in the service of a purpose that is larger than the advancement of our profession's interests: "Your particular approach to advancing our wellbeing and health strikes me as both unique and easily taken for granted. Whilst you value and work with medical understandings, your main aim seems to go beyond these. You seem to enable people to appreciate more consciously how what we do to and with ourselves and others on a daily basis impacts on our individual and collective wellbeing. As occupational therapists you have a significant contribution to make [.] allowing people from all walks of life to contribute meaningfully to the wellbeing of others." Links philosophy with practical examples of engaging people in ordinary occupations of daily life as a means of enabling them to transform their own lives Includes contributions from worldwide leaders in occupational therapy research and practice Describes concrete initiatives in under-served and neglected populations Looks at social and political mechanisms that influence people’s access to useful and meaningful occupation Chapters increase diversity of contributions – geographically, culturally and politically Emphasis on practice, education and research maintains academic credibility A glossary and practical examples in nearly every chapter make text more accessible to students
