• Resumen

  • Implementing strategies to overcome barriers to client-centred practice is a challenge encountered by many occupational therapists in their daily practice. The Client-centred Strategies Framework is proposed as a tool to assist occupational therapists to consider barriers and implement strategies from a variety of perspectives. Description. The framework consists of five categories: personal reflection, client-centred processes, practice settings, community organizing, and coalition advocacy and political action. Within each category are a number of actions that can be taken to facilitate client-centred practice. This paper describes the framework with elaboration of each of the five categories. A case example is used to illustrate how a therapist can use the framework to address client-centred practice issues. Practice Implications. This framework will assist therapists and students to problem-solve ways to enhance the use of client-centred processes within their own practice environments.
