ISP: TYPES OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY INTERVENTIONS Flashcards
Broad and specific daily life events that are personalized and meaningful to the client
Occupations
Components of occupations that are objective and separate from the client’s engagement or contexts. These are interventions that are selected and designed to support the development of performance skills and performance patterns to enhance occupational engagement.
Activities
Example: Client completes morning dressing and hygiene using adaptive devices.

selected as interventions for specific clients are designed to meet therapeutic goals and address the underlying needs of the client’s mind, body, and spirit. To use occupations and activities therapeutically, the practitioner considers activity demands and client factors in relation to the client’s therapeutic goals and contexts.

Methods and tasks that prepare the client for occupational performance are used as part of a treatment session in preparation for or concurrently with occupations and activities or provided to a client as a home-based engagement to support daily occupational performance.
Interventions to Support Occupations
Modalities, devices, and techniques to prepare the client for occupational performance. Such approaches should be part of a broader plan and not used exclusively.
PAMs and mechanical modalities
Construction of devices to mobilize, immobilize, or support body structures to enhance participation in occupations
Orthotics and prosthetics
Assessment, selection, provision, and education and training in use of high- and low-tech assistive technology; ap- plication of universal design principles; and recommendations for changes to the environment or activity to support the client’s ability to engage in occupations
Assistive technology and environmental modifications
Actions the client performs to target specific client factors or performance skills. Intervention approaches may address sensory processing to promote emotional stability in preparation for social participation or work or leisure activities or executive functioning to support engagement in occupation and meaningful activities.
Self-regulation
Imparting of knowledge and information about occupation, health, well-being, and participation to enable the client to acquire helpful behaviors, habits, and routines
Education
Products and technologies that facilitate a client’s ability to maneuver through space, including seating and position- ing; improve mobility to enhance par- ticipation in desired daily occupations; and reduce risk for complications such as skin breakdown or limb contractures
Wheeled mobility
Facilitation of the acquisition of concrete skills for meeting specific goals in a real- life, applied situation. In this case, skills refers to measurable components of function that enable mastery. Training is differentiated from education by its goal of enhanced performance as opposed to enhanced understanding, although these goals often go hand in hand
Training
Efforts directed toward promoting occupational justice and empowering clients to seek and obtain resources to support health, well-being, and occupational participation.

Use of distinct knowledge of the dynamics of group and social interaction and leadership techniques to facilitate learning and skill acquisition across the lifespan. Groups are used as a method of service delivery.
Group Interventions
Groups used in health care settings, within the community, or within orga- nizations that allow clients to explore and develop skills for participation, in- cluding basic social interaction skills and tools for self-regulation, goal set- ting, and positive choice making
Functional groups, activity groups, task groups, social groups, and other groups
Use of simulated, real-time, and near-time technologies for service delivery absent of physical contact, such as telehealth or mHealth.
Virtual Interventions
Use of technology such as video con- ferencing, teleconferencing, or mobile telephone application technology to plan, implement, and evaluate occupa- tional therapy intervention, education, and consultation
