The Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT) has a long history of working with members to provide vision and develop guidelines for the practice of occupational therapy in Canada. The 1980s guidelines that first articulated client-centered practice evolved into the 1990s guidelines for the client-centered practice of enabling occupation. CAOT is delighted to bring you the latest national guidelines for client-centered occupational enablement, which effect the shifts in Canadian health and social policy, the increasing emphasis on evidence and accountability, and occupational therapy's emerging language and occupation-based models of health, well-being and justice.
