Study Notes
Getting Oriented
- If you are reading this book, you are likely beginning your journey as an occupational therapist (OT) or occupational therapy assistant (OTA). Like many OTs or OTAs, you may feel a sense of achieving full potential to serve others and work with children, using play-based interventions to help them reach development milestones.
- Your journey could lead to rehabilitation settings, helping individuals recover the ability to complete their activities of daily living (ADLs).
- Regardless of the setting or population, you will be part of a distinct profession with the common goal of helping people do the things they love and live their lives to the fullest.
- What purposeful activities are most enjoyable to you? As a full-time professor and parent, I enjoy recreational cycling as an opportunity to be outdoors several exercise-leisure work, community mobility, and health management.
- While cycling involves muscle coordination, strength, and balance, the personal meaning and intrinsic motivation are involved.
The Language of Occupation
- As an occupational therapist student and future clinician, you will need to be familiar with some language specific to the profession. While you might not have shared terms when talking to a patient, using these exact terms when talking to your patient, having this shared understanding of these discussions and concepts is key to facilitating professional discourse.
- The definitions that follow are adapted from the Occupational Therapy Framework (OTF-4). People do occupations, resting and education, work, play, leisure, ADLs, mean sleep, purpose to life, include ADLs, health management, and social participation (1.1).
- Occupational performance is the act of completing these meaningful activities by groups (several individuals with shared characteristics, such as support groups, or populations) (an entire community of persons, such as all employees of a business). Performance skills are goal-directed actions that contribute to occupational performance.
