Synopsis

Participation in meaningful activities in the home and community contributes to health, wellness, and good quality of life. One way that occupational therapy supports that participation is by advocating for increased accessibility through universal design and environmental modification. Occupational therapy professionals fill a unique role in environmental modification - through evaluation, intervention, and outcomes measurement - by facilitating the creation of a safe, accessible home that allows people to do what is important and relevant to them. This publication, which includes a DVD of hundreds of photographic and video resources, is divided into three sections: 'Evaluating Client and Environment,' 'Developing and Implementing the Plan,' and 'Moving the Profession Forward.' Chapters, written by occupational therapy professionals as well as policymakes, researchers, designers, and builders, articulate the meaning of home to clients, define universal design, offer assessments and outcomes measurements, delineate collaborative roles, discuss funding options, and provide networking and marketing guidance. The text was created for occupational therapy students and professionals new to home modification but also will benefit those who have been practicing in this area through discussions of the latest assessment tools and new assistive technology. Therapists who work with either adults or children will find helpful guidelines and suggestions.
