occupational therapist works with. The lead section does need to improve its definition of what an occupational therapist is. I know users from above mentioned that they didn't feel they understood what an occupational therapist is after reading the article. Having a more clear definition at the beginning of the article of what an occupational therapist is and including in a few examples might give reads a more concise idea and understanding. A suggestion might be to use and cite the definition given by the
American Occupational Therapy Association which states, "In its simplest terms, occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes. Occupational therapy services typically include".

article does provide sections about each concentration of occupational therapy, the article does lack examples of therapy practices. People tend to look up "occupational therapy" articles in order to gain a better understanding of what they do. Though this article does provide good history overview of the profession, it needs improvement in giving specific examples of how occupational therapists use their profession to help individuals. How might an occupational therapist assess an individual who is paraplegic and then use steps to address the problem? These are questions that might be good to address in the article and provide information on.

occupational therapist on wikipedia should be about those practitioners... 2) Occupational
Therapy is a theraputic modality that is supported by occupational science which is a recognized evidence based , scientific practice 3) occupational science should ALSO have it's own seperate page because the body of work is so vast it cannot be effectively merged and sufficently explained. 4) there are five major practice models and an infinite choice of theraputic modalities in occupational therapy...you cannot possibly sufficently explain these models in a single paragraph or two

Association which was used multiple times for information. Other credible sources used were
Australian Journal of Occupational Therapy and British Journal of Occupational Therapy. This gives a global view to the article because it includes in views from occupational therapy associations from around the world as opposed to just using information from the American Journal of Occupational Therapy. The number of sources used was 93, therefore I feel that from this amount of sources there was a balanced use of sources.

1380:(DMM), which is arguably the state-of-the-art attachment model, and references to Pamela Meredith's work in Australia. Éadaoin Bhreathnach in N. Ireland has done a lot of work developing her Sensory Attachment Intervention model, but has not published about it, as of 2021. I wonder if the biopsychosocial model section should be listed under a subheading 1 category? It doesn't seem to be a subcategory of "Occupation-focused practice models", and seems to be a useful and complex topic on it's own.

appropriately labeled for the information within that section. Images used within the article are appropriate to the section in which they are placed. There are sections that need to be fixed when it comes to structure though. The last section labeled "occupational therapist", needs to be included into the lead section labeled "occupational therapy". An occupational therapist provides occupational therapy. They are not separate. Therefore they need to be included together.

twice and still have no clearer idea then when I looked it up. The writing here is very "inside" and reads like it was written by an enthusiastic OT student anxious to demonstrate their inside knowledge to a professor. It lacks the clarity and directness an encyclopedia article should have. Please, someone at least rework the introduction section.

Balance: The balance of the article could be improved. Topics including history, philosophy, ICF and areas of occupation have sections that are abundant in information. Topics that lack substance or length in information is health and wellness, process, and enabling occupation. Specific sections that

Some problems I see: - the first section lists too many examples of what an OT is and should be more concise. - too much focus on OT in the US - section on theoretical frameworks is incomplete. I think it should be its own article (I completed two university graduate courses on this topic alone)

1328:, at first blush many parts of the article are unreferenced. This article contains many lists and some are strangely formatted. It is also US-heavy in the introductory history section. For these reasons (And given that the referencing hasn't been addressed since May) will quick fail this article.
