Taylor & Francis Ltd Essential Concepts of Occupation for Occupational
Book SynopsisEssential Concepts of Occupation for Occupational Therapy is an accessible introduction to vital concepts in occupational science for the occupational therapy practitioner or student. It invites therapists to view and understand their clients differentlyâby using an âœoccupational lensâ to focus on the lives of their clients as everyday doers. It addresses the key questions at the heart of understanding humans as occupational beings: What do people typically do? And, where, when, how, why, and with whom do they do it?These questions organize the key concepts from occupational science that form the first chapters of this book, enabling therapists to better understand their clientsâand enabling their clients to better understand the importance of occupation to their well-being. Additional chapters clearly describe how therapists can use occupation-based models to apply an expanded view of occupation and make evaluation and intervention more relevant and beneficial to their clients. A final chapter examines trends and lifestyle changes occurring in the 21st century to anticipate how these might impact future practice.Through use of engaging and thoughtful cases that illustrate many of the concepts, this guide will help practitioners clearly understand their clients as doers, while also providing enhanced ways for therapist to confidently apply these concepts in practice.Table of ContentsPreface 1.

American Occupational Therapy Adults With Intellectual and Developmental
Book SynopsisAs rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) continue to rise and the needs of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) become increasingly complex, a comprehensive, client-centered approach to service delivery is imperative. Rather than a disability-focused text, this new book seeks to promote principles of best practices and self-determination through an occupational therapy lens. Broad in scope, Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities focuses on facilitating quality of life and intervening in effective, evidence-based ways with people with IDD, including those with ASD, adolescents transitioning to adulthood, aging adults, and people with dual diagnoses. Principles and terminology from the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process are used, along with the diagnostic criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 to provide the most up-to-date information currently available on adults with IDD. Case examples and practitioners' reflections allow readers to understand how the presented material is applied in practical, real-world ways. Emphasizing occupation in promoting health and quality of life, this new publication addresses the complex needs and issues of this important population, including facilitating quality of life, considerations with specialty populations, and innovative approaches to intervention.
