Profession
Practical tools for routines, task breakdown, energy management, sensory preferences and participation goals.
Occupational therapy is about doing the things that matter. These resources support everyday occupational practice: breaking tasks down, planning activity and energy, exploring sensory preferences, building habits and setting participation goals in real environments.
They are informal practice tools for collaborative goal setting and intervention. They are not standardised occupational therapy assessments.
Scope: Informal practice tools, not standardised occupational therapy assessments. Specialist content is flagged for review by an occupational therapist.
