Build familiarity with occupational formulation use in different settings

Build familiarity with occupational formulation use in different settings

Have a look at the other example occupational formulations on the Research & Resources page (scroll down to find it).

If you have access to the handbook A guide to the formulation of plans and goals in occupational therapy by Parkinson & Brooks (2021), read two or three examples (or more if you're keen) occupational formulations that have been developed in different practice settings. You may want to select occupational formulations based in practice settings similar to those in which you have undertaken or will undertake practice education placements.
