Occupational Therapy: Preparing Interpreters for Encounters Across the Continuum of Care

Occupational therapy involves the use of daily occupations as a therapeutic means for enhancing or enabling participation of persons, groups, or populations in everyday life. This course will outline the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework for health care interpreters assisting occupational therapists across the continuum of health care. Special attention will be given to therapeutic contexts, interventions and populations within the health care setting. Specific vocabulary will be defined and assessments will be illustrated. The latter half of the presentation will offer sample patient-provider encounters so that course participants may apply their learning to real-world interpretation scenarios.
