    Roles of Occupational Therapy for Children

    • The roles of occupational therapy for children relate to both the assessment and intervention process and the environment.

    Child- and Family-Centered Practice

    • Child and family concerns are valued during the assessment process, and the child and family are considered integral members of the intervention team.
    • Team interaction is valued and nurtured.
    • The child and parents guide intervention strategies and choose the levels of participation.
    • The child becomes the primary decision-maker for therapy goals and activities during adolescence.

    Comprehensive Evaluation

    • Occupational therapists gather information about developmental and functional strengths and limitations.
    • The assessment utilizes informal interviews, structured observations, standardized evaluations, and analysis of performance.
    • Ecologic assessment evaluates the physical and social demands, cultural influences, resources, and value systems of the setting.

    Effective Interventions

    • Interventions are provided to enhance performance, adapt activities, modify the environment, and consult, educate, and advocate.
    • Core elements in the therapeutic process include optimizing the child's active engagement, providing a just-right challenge, establishing a therapeutic relationship, and using adequate and appropriate intensity and reinforcement.

    Assistive Technology Interventions

    • Occupational therapists support the use of assistive technology by identifying the most appropriate device, helping families obtain funding, setting up the system, and providing training.
    • Assistive technology can include low and high technology solutions, which increase independence, enhance language, social and perceptual skills, and prevent behavioral problems.
    • Assistive technology solutions are selected according to the child's individual abilities, desired activities, and environmental supports.

    Environmental Modification

    • Adaptations to the environment require ongoing assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of changes and to determine when adjustments are needed.

    Consulting, Educating, and Advocating

    • Occupational therapists provide consultation services, educate caregivers, and advocate for children, helping them access community resources and inclusive educational settings.

    Inclusion and Natural Environments

    • Occupational therapy services that support inclusion emphasize the provision of services in natural environments, such as homes, childcare centers, community schools, and regular education classrooms.
    • The goal is to help children with disabilities be full participants in school and community activities, develop friendships, learn within the general educational curriculum, and participate in their communities.

    Cross-Cultural Competence

    • Cross-cultural competence acknowledges, respects, and builds upon cultural diversity.
    • It involves knowledge of diverse cultures, interaction skills sensitive to cultural differences, and recognizing that diversity can be a resource for child development.
    • Understanding cultural values and styles can influence children's development of occupations, including family composition, caregiver roles, independence/interdependence, communication styles, discipline practices, and perceptions of disability.

    Scientific Reasoning and Evidence-Based Practice

    • Occupational therapists utilize evidence-based practices and research findings to make decisions about interventions.
    • Examples of evidence-based interventions include sensory integration, sensory modalities, play-based, relationship-focused interventions, and family-centered care.
