OTPF

What is the OTPF?
What is its purpose?

The OTPF stands for The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework. It is about 50 pages full of information that explain the goals and motives for occupational therapy practice, including definitions of different aspects of the field. It also defines that scope of practice for occupational therapy, meaning all of the knowledge and skills required and needed to practice as an OT. The reason for this framework is to ensure that all occupational therapists use the same language when working, to create a common ground and improve communication. It also makes certain that OTs are focusing on the correct aspects of the profession when working with clients. As an OT student, it is a great reference to learn about what I will be doing after school, and better prepare me for that time.
