OT practice models

Occupational Therapy (OT) practice models are frameworks that guide therapists in helping individuals improve their ability to perform daily activities. These models consider the person’s physical, mental, and emotional skills, their environment, and the tasks they want or need to do. They help therapists create personalized strategies and interventions to enhance independence and well-being. Essentially, OT practice models are structured ways of understanding and addressing the barriers people face in everyday life, ensuring care is targeted, effective, and centered on each individual’s unique needs.
