OT Practice Domain paper

$a*sthUnEversfity, WPS S*cupatlonal Th*rapy Assistant Frogr*m

2. Relate the case to the domains of the OT Practice Framework.

The five domains of OT practice include the aleas pl-occgBalgn, clie!l!@rs, ptrfqllllance gkjls, performalg gattegs, context and environment. Select one aspect under each of the five domains. Use your own words to describe each item and give examples.

e.9., lf Performance Patterns - Roles were selected the student would write: lf I was to determine what client roles were impacted by his or her disability, I would describe the client's roles as spouse, parent, son or daughter, worker, student, grandparent, etc.

Section 2

List three organizations or community agencies that the client (or parents or caregivers) might find useful. Briefly describe the purpose of each of the three resources you provide. Organizations that require membership are unacceptable for this assignment (e.9., American OT Association). Please use entities accessible to the general public.

Section 3

Throughout your career, you will answer the following question hundreds of times -- "What is occupational therapy?" This part of the assignment is meant to give you a start on coming up with a definition or description of the profession of Occupational Therapy to help answer that question. lmagine that friends or relatives ask you about Occupational Therapy; what will you tellthem?

End your paper with a written script of a '30 second elevator speech'that defines and/or describes the profession of occupational therapy. This is often called an 'elevator speech' because it must be succinct enough that you could start talking when getting on the elevator with the CEO of your hospital on the first floor and finish your explanation of occupational therapy when the elevator door opens at the third floor!

You will present this speech in 30 seconds or less in class during week 9; you may read your definition of Occupational Therapy, you do not have to memorize it! The presentation will not be graded.

NOTE: Please copy the Evaluation Rubric, found below, and paste the entire Rubric into the very end of your paper .. after any references or appendices. Thank you!
