How does the OTPF influence OT practice?

The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework is an efficient guide for occupational therapy practitioners to practice this profession in such a way that promotes the overall individual and encourages better performance for the client. The OTPF takes a top-down approach which begins by looking at the person as a whole and then proceeding with a treatment plan from there. The OTPF plays an important role in ensuring that occupational therapists do not lose sight of the individual as a whole and to make sure that the client is way more than just the reason they are wanting to receive occupational therapy. The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework serves as an excellent way to maintain the goal of the profession and to even promote further growth in the field of occupational therapy.
