What is the OTPF?

OTPF stands for Occupational Therapy Practice Framework. It is an official document, released by the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), that summarizes and defines the constructs that guide occupational therapy. The OTPF (3rd edition) is beneficial to our profession because it establishes a common use of language, scope of practice, and OT process. This allows occupational therapy practitioners to be "on the same page" and to be effective in supporting clients in their active engagement of meaningful occupations.
