Career exploration and development: a companion guide to the Occupational Therapy Roles document.
AOTA has developed OT Roles for practitioners, administrators, educators, researchers, and others to help them appreciate the broad range of opportunities in occupational therapy. This document also helps individuals and groups understand important qualifications for successful performance of key role components. Continuums of typical progression from entry-level to expert are suggested. This companion document demonstrates how OT Roles can be used as a resource for career planning, administration curriculum planning, and the basis for research in the field. Case studies have been presented to show some of the many applications of OT Roles. It is anticipated that through the use of both OT Roles and this companion document, individuals and groups will be able to support continued growth and diversification of the many opportunities within the field of occupational therapy.
