How does the OTPF guide OT practice?
The OTPF is the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework which gives OT's a standard guide to focus on. This basically puts all OT's on the same page in order for us to work under one uniform vocabulary. This improves communication with OT's within themselves, as well as with our clients. The OTPF is a tool to ensure that occupational therapist are in a uniform understanding of of the OT process. It is very important that we are working under one guide and group every occupation in the same way. The OTPF is a way for OT's to be consistent with their practice in some form.
