Study Notes
Types of Occupational Therapy
- 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.
Rituals and Identity
- Rituals hold spiritual, cultural, or social significance, shaping individual identity and reinforcing values and beliefs.
Performance Skills and Occupations
- Performance skills can be assessed across all age groups and abilities, informing therapy practices regardless of the setting.
