What is the OT population? (Number of practicing OTs and OTAs) What are the most common practice settings where occupational therapy is found? What is the level of education required for entry-level OT and OTA practitioners? What are the similarities and differences between OT practices in the country you researched and those presented and discussed in class? How is occupation defined? What evidence-based practices are prominent? How are the concepts of wellness and well-being addressed? Is the concept of daemonic well-being evident. How are services paid for? (Insurance? Private pay? Other funding?)
Are there areas in the country where disparity in availability and level of services is apparent or possible? What ethical challenges might arise from this disparity? If your research reveals that occupational therapy IS NOT practiced in the country you have chosen:
What type of therapy is available? What areas of the OT scope of practice are being practiced by these other professionals? Does the country employ OT’s trained in other countries to provide services? What is the potential impact of the absence of occupational therapy practitioners?
What do you think occupational therapy could contribute to health care in the country researched?
