Description
Occupational therapy brings the perspective of occupational engagement to early childhood practice. Advances or deviations in childhood development resonate throughout the child's body and experience. How these changes are expressed, experienced, and addressed from a family-centered focus has profound implications for the child's ability to engage in occupations that are meaningful and valuable for their quality of life. Occupational therapy brings the perspective of occupational engagement to early childhood practice. Focusing on community-based programs, this outstanding new book is an enlightening journey through occupational therapy with children at the earliest stage of their lives. It looks at the impact of federal legislation in occupational therapy practice, and explores ways to articulate and demonstrate the profession's long-standing expertise in transitioning early childhood development into occupational engagement in natural environments.
