More than ever, occupational therapy practitioners are being challenged to provide occupation-based services. This “how-to” workshop provides strategies for ensuring that “occupation” is the primary focus of your clinical practice. Participants will analyze their practice and identify strategies to maximize the inclusion of occupation in all aspects of occupational therapy services using the OT Framework. An intervention continuum that directs clinical reasoning toward occupation-based interventions and the client’s individualized goals will be presented. The workshop includes practical strategies for assuring that the occupation-based services provided by occupational therapy practitioners are emphasized in documentation. The obstacles limiting occupation-based services (i.e., reimbursement, productivity standards, staffing patterns, environmental constraints, attitudes, etc.) will be discussed and strategies for transitioning the obstacles into opportunities will be explored. Using lecture, audiovisual aids, group discussion, and problem solving collaboration, the workshop leaders will guide participants through “how-to” strategies for enriching “occupation” across practice settings.
