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.

This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents strategies for using systemic theory and evidence-based practice in schools to support students, the adults in their lives, and their wider communities. Beginning by introducing and explaining the Advocating Student-within-Environment (ASE) theory, each chapter then addresses a specific school-based issue, such as academic achievement, crisis, trauma, and resiliency, from a systemic and environmental lens. Practical and accessible, the chapters are filled with case examples, evidence-based interventions, and helpful tools to show how counselors can incorporate the approach into their practice. Extending beyond school and student problems, this text also explores greater system functioning, such as community outreach and state level intervention, discussing advocacy and political issues. This book is essential for school-based professionals who are looking for new ways to work with students, families, and their communities. It will also be of interest to mental health professionals who work systemically, such as marriage and family therapists and community counselors.

Download or read book Administrators Perceptions of the Roles of Occupational Therapists in the School System written by Jeanine Marie Miller Adams and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of special education administrators regarding the role of occupational therapists in the educational setting. All one hundred ninety-four Directors of Special Education in the Commonwealth of Kentucky were surveyed by mail. The survey instrument, developed by the author, contained both open-ended and close-ended questions. One hundred thirty-four or 68% of those surveyed responded. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results of the questionnaire. The results indicated that most special education administrators believed they understood the school-based OT's role, with the most frequently listed role being consultation. However, many participants indicated that medical versus educational relevancy was unclear to them. In addition, the results identified the need for OT preservice training to address the competencies needed by school-based practitioners. Recommendations are included for further studies related to school-based occupational therapy.

Download or read book Exploration of the Perceived Educational Needs and Learning Preferences of Occupational Therapists Working in Acute Hospital Settings written by Sonja Maryke De Munck and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Continuing professional development (CPD) is critical for health professionals, in order to keep abreast of developments in effective practices, and to meet the demands of an ever-changing and complex health care system. Although there are clear legislative, workplace and professional requirements for occupational therapists (OTs) to engage in CPD there is limited documented evidence on the educational experiences of OTs working in hospitals, or the perceived effectiveness of the current educational practices in place. Given that in Western Australia the greatest number of OTs are employed in the hospital setting, this lack of information has potential implications for the usefulness of CPD activities currently being offered and consequently the quality of OT services provided. For these reasons, this study explored the perceived educational needs, learning preferences, motivations and satisfaction levels of OTs working in acute hospital settings in the metropolitan area of Western Australia. The educational activities currently available and any gaps in CPD for OTs were also investigated. This study followed a descriptive non-experimental research design and used a mixed method of data collection. The Occupational Therapists' Perceptions of Continuing Professional Development and Educational Needs Questionnaire was developed to elicit OTs motivation levels, educational needs, satisfaction levels and learning preferences. Face validity and reliability of the questionnaire was established. Occupational therapists (n = 94) from three acute hospitals in Western Australia completed the questionnaire. Occupational therapy Heads of Department participated in semistructured interviews, providing background information and an understanding of the CPD activities currently available. A descriptive level of analysis was applied to questionnaire responses. Kruskall-Wallis and Mann Whitney-U statistical tests were used to compare experience levels with the level of need for further education. Qualitative data from the interviews and open-ended responses in the questionnaire were analysed for themes by applying a four stage process of thematic analysis (data immersion, coding, creation of categories, and identification of themes)...

This book was released on 2006 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: With psychological and behavioral disorders affecting a significant number of children and adolescents in the nation's school systems, occupational therapy services to identify and provide effective intervention to meet the needs of students with emotional disturbance becomes important. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which occupational therapists provide services to students with emotional disturbance. Additionally, the study identified types of school-based occupational therapy services provided to students with emotional disturbance, examined service delivery approaches, explored occupational therapy practitioners' perceptions of educational preparation for providing psychosocial occupational therapy services to students with emotional disturbance, and identified potential barriers to providing occupational therapy services to these students. A national mail survey was sent to a random selection of 1,000 occupational therapists belonging to the American Occupational Therapy Association's School System Special Interest Section. The response rate was 55.5% (n=555). Data were analyzed using means, frequencies, and percentages, in addition to descriptive analysis for qualitative responses. The results of the study revealed that 64.8% of school-based occupational therapists had 0-5% of their caseload comprised of students with emotional disturbance. The mean percentage of students with emotional disturbance on school-based occupational therapists caseloads was 8.2 (SD= 13.9). Maintaining attention to task and motor skills were identified as the two goal areas most often addressed by occupational therapists when providing services to students with emotional disturbance. When working with students with emotional disturbance 68% (n=226) of respondents reported using therapeutic use of self either frequently or always. Additionally, 43.3% of those surveyed reported use of occupations and activities frequently with 37% reporting use always. Qualitative answers identified use of sensory strategies, behavior modification/management, and social skills training as the top three intervention strategies used by occupational therapists to treat students with emotional disturbance. The service delivery most often used by occupational therapists was a combination of consultation and direct services (m=3 .7, SD1 .04). A total of 334 therapists (66.5%) responded that their university preparation had prepared them minimally or not at all for providing school-based services for students with emotional disturbances. Many identified barriers to occupational therapy service provision to this population. Two themes were 1) lack of referral of children with emotional disturbance for occupational therapy evaluation/intervention and 2) limitations in the effectiveness of intervention. Finally, 129 (3 8.5%) of therapists reported that 50-75% of students receiving occupational therapy as a related service contributing to the IEP have shown positive outcomes due to intervention. The responses from this research study yielded some expected, disturbing and interesting results which provide implications for occupational therapy practice and warrant further discussion and need for additional research.
