On occupational performance.
Occupational therapists use many complex and dynamic techniques and approaches in their interventions. The notion of occupational performance is emerging within our profession as one such approach that is unique to occupational therapy and that has great promise for our clients. The thesis of this article is that for occupational performance to be therapeutic, it must meet certain necessary conditions. In this article the author offers a definition of occupational performance, explores the three conditions of occupational performance, and explores the application of occupational performance in therapy.
