L1.1 Introduction Flashcards
describe the model of best practice
best practice in the centre surrounded by embedded, family & client-centered, evidence based, collaborative, strengths based and knowldge/expertise based
what is the ICF and its importance?
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health is a classification of the health components of functioning and disability.
It highlights personal characteristics impacting experience of a health condition and how they may help or hinder engagement in activities and participation. It is a holistic view of health and role of health professionals in promoting individuals health and wellbeing. It highlights different environmental considerations including physical, social and attitudinal.

what is it ICF-CY and its important?
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth.
Enables recording characteristics of the developing child and influence his/her environment. It recognises stages of development: infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence. It recognises that parents/carers/teachers. exercise significant control over children’s opportunity for engagement.
How can the ICF-CY facilitate the OT process and clinical reasoning?
the OT process is the therapeutic problem-solving method used by practitioners to help clients improve their occupational performance. clinical reasoning is required for deciding what information to collect and how to collect it and knowing what to do with the information once you have it. ICF-CY provides useful guide to directing information gathering and type of information required and purpose for which it can be used.
what is family centered practice?
needs and priorities of family determine how and when services can be provided. it recognises and considers strengths and needs of all family members.
what are the assumptions and principles of family centered practice?
- Parents know their children best and want the best for their child
- families are unique and different
- optimal child functioning occurs within a supportive family context. the child is affected by stress and coping by other family members
what makes family centered practice?
collaborative and open partnership between family, service provider and organisation
what is unique about children’s occupation?
- children engage in many social and occupational roles everyday: micro occupational development
- children engage in a range of different environments that become increasingly complex and diverse w/ age: occupational transitions
- children occupations change throughout childhood and adolescence: meso occupational development
what is the difference between occupation centred vs occupation based
occupation centred: to adopt a profession-specific perspective- a world view of occupation and what it means to be an occupational being- where occupation is placed in the centre and ensures that what we do it linked to the core paradigm of OT–> what we do and how we do it in research, education and practice
occupation based: to use occupation as the foundation- to engage a person in occupation as the method used for evaluation and/or intervention
what are the features of occupation centred practice?
- client centred orientation - child and family centered
- based on collaborative relationship
- client chosen goals
- contextual relevance
- active engagement of children and parents
- individualism of intervention
- focus on occupational performance and participation throughout intervention
- info gathering: roles, occupation, occupational performance and environment
- intervention: roles, occupation, occupational performance and environment
- interventions are finite
- occupation centred evaluation of intervention outcomes
why is top-down approach more consistent with occupation centred practice?
- emphasis on child’s valued task and roles, foundational skills
- adopts a general problem solving structure
- questioning a child to increase meta-cognitions
- plans for transfer and generalisation to relevant contexts
top down approach emphasises occupational performance and participation as outcomes
