Hello Kelly: Yes, I was hoping that someone define's OT expertise as occupation. And thank you so VERY much for responding.
I totally agree that better understanding the theoretical underpinning of occupation allows for better articulation of the profession. And better articulation leaves little doubt in the patient's mind as to what/why we are different.
