As telehealth and virtual instruction in schools become
commonplace, occupational therapy practitioners have the
opportunity to apply their flexibility, adaptability, and unique
skill set to serve students in schools, regardless of physical
location. This text, the first in a series on telehealth by AOTA,
acknowledges that telehealth is a critical part of school-based
occupational therapy. It equips practitioners to effectively bridge
the digital divide, ensure equitable access to services, determine
whether telehealth is an appropriate fit, and work with caregivers
for the best possible outcomes. CHAPTERS INCLUDE Chapter 1. Equity
Considerations for Telehealth in Schools Chapter 2. Best Practices
in Providing Telehealth to Support Participation in School Chapter
3. Telehealth Evaluation and Assessment in Schools Chapter 4.
Supporting Student Self-Regulation in Telehealth Chapter 5.
Implementing Interventions in Schools Through Telehealth Chapter 6.
Coaching and Supporting Caregivers via Telehealth
Appendixes-Telehealth in Occupational Therapy; Guidelines for
Occupational Therapy in Early Intervention; Legal, Ethical, and
Procedural Considerations Case examples illustrate how to apply
content in realistic scenarios. Practical and evidence based,
practitioners can immediately integrate information into their
occupational therapy practice to support students and participation
in school.
The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process
(OTPF) summarizes the interrelated constructs that describe
occupational therapy practice. It is intended for a wide audience
of occupational therapy practitioners and students, other health
care professionals, educators, researchers, payers, and consumers.
This 4th edition (the OTPF-4) continues its predecessors' mission
to provide structure and guidance for practitioners to achieve the
distinct value of occupational therapy in the clinic and other
settings. An American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA)
official document, the OTPF is reviewed on a 5-year cycle. The
review period includes the voices of AOTA members, scholars,
authors, practitioners, AOTA volunteer leadership and staff, and
other stakeholders to ensure that the document maintains its
integrity while responding to emerging concepts and advances in
occupational therapy. The OTPF-4 includes the following changes:
Increased focus on group and population clients Identification of
the cornerstones of occupational therapy practice, foundational to
the success of occupational therapy practitioners More explicit
description and definition of the terms occupational science,
occupation, and activity Changes in terminology to accord with the
taxonomy from the World Health Organization's International
Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)
Inclusion of gender identity as a client factor under "experience
of self and time" Discussion of transitions and discontinuation as
outcomes to occupational therapy services Discussion of
patient-reported outcomes Five new tables to expand on and clarify
concepts. The OTPF-4 represents the latest articulation of the
occupational therapy domain and process, building on a set of
values that the profession has held since its founding in 1917.
Embedded in this document is the occupational therapy profession's
core belief in the positive relationship between occupation and
health and its view of people as occupational beings.
