The OTPF supports the top-down approach of thinking. The
top-down approach means that you have to think about the person as a whole,
what their occupations are, and then figure out how to treat them the best way.
I feel like this ensures that the client is going to be motivated and feel that
the therapist has their best interest at heart. Also, the OTPF shows all of the
ways that an occupational therapist is able to help others. I think that this
helps to guide OT practice because people may not realize all the different
aspects of somebody’s life an occupational therapist is able to help with.
