OTPF

The OTPF is what defines an OT's practice framework. The OTPF is intended for use by OT practitioners, students, researchers, health care providers and others. The purpose of this is to enhance clients to participate in everyday occupations that will enhance their quality of life. It identifies 3 types of habits: useful, impoverished, and dominating. This document looks at what the client brings to the table. Also, the OTPF has had continual revisions to help guide occupational therapy practices.

my role, occupation, activity, and task

One of my roles I have is being an MOT1 occupational therapy graduate student. One of my occupations for being a graduate student is studying and completing assignments on time. An activity that I do for my occupation of studying is making flash cards. I make flashcards as a way to retain the information I am learning. A task involved in making flash cards would be grasping my pencil/pen when writing on the cards.

An occupation that has remained true over time is eating. Eating is an essential part of life that is crucial in order to survive. Over the years, as technology has improved, cooking techniques have progressed. For example, people are now able to cook on stoves, grills, crock pots, microwaves, etc. Also, cooking is considered a social occupation because people enjoy eating with others or at social events.
