How does the OTPF influence OT practice?

The OTPF is the central document that lays out the specific areas of occupations essential to our clients. In our practice, we can reference the OTPF for an in depth description of aspects of occupational therapy's domain and scope of practice. The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework provides a common understanding of the basic tenets of the profession. It helps to break down the domain of OT into occupations, client factors, performance skills, performance patterns, and contexts and environments.
