Occupational Therapy Practice Framework

The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF) is a guideline that helps occupational therapists understand and describe their work. It outlines various aspects of health and wellness, focusing on how people engage in everyday activities or "occupations." The framework identifies areas like client needs, performance skills, and environmental factors that affect a person's ability to participate in life. By using the OTPF, therapists can better assess, plan, and implement effective treatment strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and improving their quality of life through meaningful activities.
