How does the OTPF influence OT practice?
The OTPF gives occupational therapy a framework that defines how we think and speak. This creates unity in practice and in conversation about our profession. It also lays out the process in which we serve others. Occupational therapists get to know the person first, and then get down to the problems or limitations they want to adapt and conquer. I believe this encourages relationship first, which is the greatest foundation of trust and respect that can encourage change and new ideas.
