What is OTPF?

Occupational Therapy Practice Framework is an AOTA document widely used in the education and profession of occupational therapy. This is a very important document that guides the practice of occupational therapy. The OTPF is a reference that provides common language and communication for practitioners and students. This framework highly focuses on the use of occupations to promote health and wellness.  The two big areas of the OTPF are domains and process. The domains are what the occupational therapist does with the client, where the process is how the occupational therapist does it, therefore, this document can be very helpful during evaluation and intervention.
