Occupational therapy is an evolving profession. Over the years, the study of human occupation and its components has enlightened the profession about the core concepts and constructs that guide occupational therapy practice. In addition, occupational therapy’s role and contributions to society have continued to evolve. The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process (also referred to in this document as the Framework) is the next evolution in a series of documents that have been developed over the past several decades to outline language and constructs that describe the profession’s focus.
