Abstract

Using the Occupational Therapy Intervention Process Model (OTIPM) begins by developing and fostering relationships and working in partnership with those accessing our services. Building from this foundation, the process comprises three additional phases that are named: (1) set goals and evaluate; (2) plan and implement intervention; and (3) re-evaluate. Effective outcomes in occupational therapy depend on technical skills and building meaningful relationships. The OTIPM emphasizes the importance of working closely with clients, sharing insights, and understanding factors influencing what they do and how they do it. By combining our expertise with the client’s, we create a partnership that guides us in aligning interventions with the person’s life. In the context of OTIPM, the term ‘client’ extends beyond an individual to encompass family, groups, or even entire communities. Building relationships with whoever the ‘client’ is takes intentional effort. When starting as occupational therapists, we might focus too much on technical details rather than relationships.
