Occupational therapy’s promotion of meaningful participation requires practitioners to have the expertise to conduct client-centered evaluations, design occupation-based interventions, and facilitate positive outcomes. Ways of Living: Intervention Strategies to Enable Participation guides students and practitioners in working with clients across the wide range of occupational therapy services to achieve improved outcomes for clients—outcomes increasingly required by health care reimbursement systems.
