Occupational Therapy Motto: Reflection Paper
To help students understand the connection between the driving philosophy of occupational therapy and the services that are provided by occupational therapy clinicians.
To provide an opportunity to synthesize course concepts, and cohesively explain course concepts.
The American Occupational Therapy Association has used several themes and/or mottos in their promotional efforts. Some of these have been: a) “Living Life to its Fullest;” 2) “Skills for the Job of Living;” and, 3) Building Skills for a Better Life.”
You will select one textbook reading (must be different than any of the readings you have used to date). You will reflect on one of the above themes/mottos, and write a short paper (no more than 2 pages) on the meaning of the theme/motto, and how that theme is reflected in the reading you have chosen. Be sure that your paper includes the following:
A citation for the reading you have chosen
The motto you have chosen to write about
What the motto means, in your own words
An explanation and justification of how the motto is demonstrated in the reading
