PassionA man’s passion proclaims his destiny
and anchors his life.So fall in love with something.
It will decide everything.Destiny is not a matter of chance
But a matter of choice. Ray Werner
Find your passion in occupational therapy

OT 101: Strategies for Everyone
![Page 8: If It’s To Be…. It’s Up To Me! Pamela E. Toto, PhD, OTR/L, BCG, FAOTA AOTA Board of Directors.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8d5503460f94a75ab0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Distinct and Essential Focus on Participation
Everyone now focuses on “function” Practice OCCUPATION
Avoid “short-selling” the value of occupational therapy “Common sense” Lack of evidence Deference of clinical judgment to
other professionals
![Page 9: If It’s To Be…. It’s Up To Me! Pamela E. Toto, PhD, OTR/L, BCG, FAOTA AOTA Board of Directors.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8d5503460f94a75ab0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Seen and Heard Act and Lead
Resist “going along with the crowd” if you feel otherwise
Seek opportunities to represent OT and the greater rehabilitation/healthcare team
Names matter Call yourself an occupational therapist or
an occupational therapy assistant Nametags, Business Cards
Be prepared to succinctly describe what you do
![Page 10: If It’s To Be…. It’s Up To Me! Pamela E. Toto, PhD, OTR/L, BCG, FAOTA AOTA Board of Directors.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8d5503460f94a75ab0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Happy to be another face in the crowd... Representation by disciplines other
than occupational therapy Avoiding the “limelight”
More comfortable interacting with clients than decision-makers
More comfortable advocating for others than yourself
Who are "they”?
![Page 11: If It’s To Be…. It’s Up To Me! Pamela E. Toto, PhD, OTR/L, BCG, FAOTA AOTA Board of Directors.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8d5503460f94a75ab0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Define what you do The “elevator”
definition Brief (20 sec) One to two
sentences Word choice
depending on your audience
The “unabridged” version 2 minutes Don’t limit to one
population Use examples Word choice
depending on your audience
![Page 12: If It’s To Be…. It’s Up To Me! Pamela E. Toto, PhD, OTR/L, BCG, FAOTA AOTA Board of Directors.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8d5503460f94a75ab0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Don’ts” for defining what you do… Don’t be too narrow in focus Don’t describe OT by relating how it
is different from another profession (i.e. physical therapy)
Don’t use too much OT jargon Who else “doffs” their socks except
occupational therapy practitioners? Don’t be too wordy – make your
point!

Expand the “Army” of Occupational Therapy Advocates
Clients as advocates for occupational therapy Must know who provided the service Must understand how the intervention has
impacted their occupations and participation Encourage to promote and talk about the
benefits of occupational therapy Apply to family and friends

Practice Consistency
