The Role of Occupational Self-Assessment in Client-Centered Practice in School-Based Settings

Pages 197-203 | Published online: 13 Dec 2011
 

Abstract

Recent changes in educational legislation and societal views of health and wellness have resulted in sweeping changes in occupational therapy services delivery in school-based settings. Occupational therapy practitioners are uniquely equipped to identify the influence of supports and barriers on participation in meaningful contexts. With an understanding of student perception of occupational capacity and interest, practitioners can design client-focused, occupation-based interventions that promote lifestyle sustainability and community participation. The purpose of this article is to explore the role of occupational self assessment to enhance therapeutic partnership and empower students to identify and prioritize occupational needs and goals.
