Main description:

Occupational Therapy Interventions: Functions and Occupations, Second Edition is a unique and comprehensive text intended to provide the essential information required for occupational therapy practice in the physical approach to the intervention process. This practical and user-friendly text offers an entry-level approach to bridging the American Occupational Therapy Association's Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, Third Edition with everyday practice, specifically concerning interventions.

Dr. Catherine Meriano and Dr. Donna Latella focus each chapter of the text on an area of occupation, evidence-based practice, current intervention options, as well as a specific hands-on approach to grading interventions. Although the focus of the text is the intervention process, Occupational Therapy Interventions: Function and Occupations, Second Edition also includes a detailed "Evaluation Grid" which offers a unique approach to choosing occupational therapy evaluations.

New in the Second Edition:

New evidence-based articles have been added to each of the chapters
Some new rewritten and expanded chapters
Updated references throughout
Includes sample exam questions with each chapter
Updated key concepts and incorporated new documents such as:
AOTA's Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, Third Edition
AOTA's Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics
AOTA's Guidelines for Supervision, Roles, and Responsibilities During the Delivery of Occupational Therapy Services

Instructors in educational settings can visit www.efacultylounge.com for additional materials to be used for teaching in the classroom.

With the incorporation of new evidence-based concepts, updates to reflect the AOTA's newest documents, and new hands-on approaches to interventions, Occupational Therapy Interventions: Functions and Occupations, Second Edition should be by the side of every occupational therapy student and entry-level practitioner.
