Practice resources
Building a thriving and inclusive occupational therapy community
The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) is leading the profession to support a strong and welcoming occupational therapy community by providing resources and tools to strengthen occupational therapy practitioners' contribution to a healthy and engaged community.
Functional cognition in OT
Occupational therapy practitioners analyze how an individual's cognition affects their ability to do the things they want and need to do and collaborate with clients to design individually-tailored interventions using ADLs and (IADLs) that are meaningful to the client and provide direct application of functional skills.
Sleep
Rest and sleep is a foundational occupation in the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, 4th edition. Occupational therapy practitioners can help clients, groups, and communities to manage and develop healthy and effective routines and habits to promote sleep.
Use AOTA’s pain management resources in your everyday practice
Occupational therapy practitioners work with clients who may be or who are experiencing pain. Services are often provided in multi-disciplinary teams, where clients can benefit from the team approach.
I gladly renew my AOTA membership to have an educated voice in advocacy and to be equipped to succeed in the ever-changing health care arena.
