Are you a new occupational therapy practitioner building confidence in your clinical reasoning or an experienced clinician looking for a fresh approach to complex client cases?

Occupational therapy practitioners are introduced to numerous theoretical models throughout their education, yet many struggle to confidently apply them when faced with complex client presentations. This course bridges the gap between theory and practice by providing a practical framework for using occupational therapy theoretical models to strengthen clinical reasoning and guide client-centered, occupation-based care.

Through engaging case studies, reflective learning activities, and guided clinical reasoning, participants will explore how theoretical models can inform assessment selection, intervention planning, and clinical decision-making across a variety of practice settings. Learners will gain strategies for selecting, applying, and integrating theoretical models to address multifaceted occupational performance challenges while remaining grounded in meaningful occupation and participation.

Whether you are beginning your career or seeking new strategies to navigate challenging clinical situations, this course will equip you with practical tools to intentionally use theory as a guide for evidence-informed, occupation-centered practice.


Target Audience: Occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, occupational therapy students
This occupational therapy continuing education course uses the following instructional methods: visual aides (ie slides),  case examples, reflection activities, question and answer and discussions.
Content disclosure: This course does not exclusively focus on any specific product or service.
