DESCRIPTION
OccupationalTherapy inAction: A Library of Case Studies
helps students develop the clinical reasoning
skills they need to provide meaningful, client-centered interventions across the continuum of care and as an
integral part of an inter-professional team.
This much-needed book provides a decision-making framework, the Case Development Protocol, to help
students integrate treatment concepts and apply theory and sound clinical judgement to dozens of OT cases
representing clients of all ages in a range of clinical setting. Scores and qualitative information from the book’s
unique Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Survey helps instructors and students gauge where further training is
required and provides guidance on cases from the book that will provide the maximum skill development for
each student.
