Occupational therapy assistants work under the supervision of occupational therapists, delivering essential services to clients.
Clients are classified into persons, groups, and populations, reflecting various shared characteristics and purposes.

Clients in Occupational Therapy

Persons: Individuals receiving therapy, including caregivers.
Groups: Collections of individuals with common goals or characteristics (e.g., family, students).
Populations: Aggregates of people sharing common attributes, such as health risks or cultural identification.

Environmental Barriers

Key barriers limiting participation in meaningful occupations include:
- Inaccessible environments, such as narrow doorways for wheelchair access.
- Lack of support services and resources in communities, impacting vulnerable populations.

Occupational Justice

Defined as the right to participate in everyday occupations inclusively across different demographics (age, gender, ability).
Involves addressing disparities such as:
- Environmental accessibility.
- Insufficient healthcare services, leading to adverse health outcomes in specific communities.

Performance Patterns

Habits: Automatic behaviors that can be adaptive (e.g., regular exercise) or maladaptive (e.g., smoking).
Routines: Established sequences of occupations that provide structure to daily life, crucial for promoting health.
Shared Routines: Routines shared among individuals (e.g., family mealtime) that support health outcomes.

Role of Time in Occupational Therapy

Time use influences how individuals manage activities and adapt to changes.
Time management skills help clients organize and prioritize activities to achieve health and fulfill their roles.
