This book acts as a guide for occupational therapists to develop and continually evaluate trusting working relationships with occupational therapist assistants (OTAs), resulting in more effective occupational therapy service delivery to clients. To combat the misunderstandings between occupational therapists and OTAs, this book provides theoretical knowledge, practical learning, and case study examples to guide and develop positive working relationships between occupational therapists and OTAs. The importance of developing this trusting intraprofessional relationship is discussed in detail, and recommended approaches are reviewed. Described methodologies can be utilized to determine appropriate involvement of OTAs in specific client treatments, allowing for a consistent and effective synergy within occupational therapy. This book is an ideal read for occupational therapist students and occupational therapists currently working in a clinical practice setting, as well as for rehabilitation managers and employers. It is also a beneficial resource for OTA students and OTAs working within the profession.
