    Study Notes

    Occupational Therapy and Justice

    • Occupational therapists critically evaluate practice contexts, identifying and mitigating barriers to justice, equity, and rights for individuals and groups, acting at macro and micro levels.
    • Macro-level systems and structures impact health access based on factors like sex, ability, social class, geography, and other social categorizations.
    • Occupational therapists acknowledge the role of laws, statutes, and institutions in limiting occupational opportunities.
    • Therapists must be aware of their implicit biases and dominant worldviews regarding valued occupations and practices.
    • Therapists need to be aware of their own competencies, experiences, and potential conflicts of interest.

    Occupational Justice

    • Occupational justice considers the actions individuals take within their lives, contrasting it with broader societal justice concerns.
    • It's grounded in a rights-based lens, supporting rights like Indigenous land claims and racial equality.
    • Occupational therapists promote occupational rights as human rights.
    • Occupational justice includes considering that occupations can be just/unjust, sustaining/destroying, protective/harmful, or liberating/oppressive, and understanding how these considerations manifest at micro, meso, and macro levels.
    • People's social environments impact available occupations and expectations.

    Capabilities Approach

    • The capabilities approach aligns with occupational therapy concepts, emphasizing equality and equity in the ability of individuals to achieve a desirable life.
    • Functioning, in this context, is what someone can do or be, given their circumstances.
    • Capabilities derive from internal strengths and external societal support systems that promote freedom to choose and live.
    • The capabilities approach considers the political, social, and economic context of individuals' lives. It asks what individuals are both able and enabled to do.

    Six Action Domains (COTIPP)

    • Connect: Initial therapist-client interaction to establish relationships and understanding.
    • Seek Understanding & Define Purpose: Co-create conditions for working together, including exploration of individual/collective needs and aspirations for participation.
    • Explore Occupational Participation: Co-create conditions to understand current participation concerns, aspirations, and possibilities, taking into consideration diverse perspectives.
    • Co-design Priorities, Goals, Outcomes, and Plans: Collaboratively establish priorities, goals, and plans to address identified concerns, acknowledging multiple perspectives and viewpoints.
    • Trial the Plan, Explore Change, and Refine the Plan: Ongoing monitoring of progress, adjustments, and adaptation of the plan based on individual/collective experiences.
    • Plan for Transition: Co-create plans and support for transition from occupational therapy, involving consideration of the continuity of support and access to resources.

    Additional Key Concepts

    • Critical reflection is crucial for therapists, examining personal biases and potential conflicts of interest, and identifying broader systemic barriers.
    • Documentation must be mindful, avoiding oppressive language and interpretations, and respecting privacy and confidentiality.
    • Collaboration with individuals/groups is essential, including diverse perspectives, particularly in community settings.
    • Therapists need to consider their own biases, acknowledging the influence of power structures and challenging systemic assumptions.
    • Ethics and legal considerations are paramount throughout the process, ensuring meaningful consent and respecting individual and collective rights.
    • The ongoing nature of the relationship between therapist and client/group/community is important.
    • Considerations for people with disabilities include potential access and utilization barriers, which must be identified and addressed.
    • The transition plan should consider potential worsening or recurring health conditions, and long-term planning.
    • Therapists should advocate for access and ensure needed resources are available to clients.
