Working with adults experiencing homelessness
Occupational therapy practitioners will likely encounter people experiencing homelessness, regardless of their practice setting
Although all practitioners implement client-centered care, considerations and priorities for people experiencing homelessness may be different than the populations typically seen in these practice settings.
This guide provides an overview of the data on homelessness in the United States and a framework for occupational therapy practitioners to better address the needs of this population.
The guide was a joint creation between AOTA and the National Healthcare for the Homeless Council.
