June 3 2024 Q&A video
(24 minutes) Watch Lorrae & Dani respond to questions about occupational formulation.
00:00 Welcome and facilitator reflections on recent interactions with therapists and students:
about how incorporating occupational can shine a light on practice steps or skills that may need attention. E.g. assessments, giving feedback.
about the importance of therapeutic reasoning in applying occupational formulation (or any element of occupational therapy work)
that the use of second person when writing the narrative may hold the therapist to account by ensuring use of jargon-free, recovery-oriented language that will be meaningful to the person
07:00 How long should a formulation be? How much info is needed?
11:00 It took me ages to write my first OF, will it get easier?
15:00 What if there isn’t any positive volitional info?
18:45 Where in the occupational formulation do I describe the effects of illness or injury?
20:47 How do I gather occupational identity information from people who are non-verbal?
