Putting OT Theory into Action
I know as well as anyone that when teachers start to talk about theories and frameworks that it's easy to zone out because it's easy to tell yourself that you will never use this in practice. However, I believe that taking the next step and applying these frameworks to practice can be extremely beneficial to the client as it will help you see the client holistically and really take all aspects of their life into consideration when treating the client. I think the KAWA framework we discussed in class today added a new dimension to the way people see theories and frameworks as you typically think of these frameworks as meaningless diagrams with words on them. However, the KAWA is adaptable to every individuals and helps you identify the barriers that can affect flow, which is a new perspective that seemed simpler to use.
