Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF)

The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF) is a guiding document that outlines how occupational therapists evaluate and treat individuals to improve their ability to perform daily activities. It defines the core aspects of occupational therapy, including the focus on meaningful tasks like eating, dressing, or working, and describes the processes involved, such as assessment, intervention, and outcomes. The framework emphasizes a client-centered approach, considering each person's unique strengths, challenges, and goals. Overall, OTPF provides a standardized, comprehensive foundation for delivering effective, individualized occupational therapy services.
