A task force developed technology competencies for occupational therapy practitioners. These guidelines cover assistive technology (AT) skills for evaluating, intervening, and coordinating resources at various practice levels.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Therapy
  • Assistive Technology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Technology integration is crucial in modern occupational therapy practice.
  • Standardized competencies are needed to ensure quality assistive technology (AT) services.
  • Existing frameworks lacked specific technology skill definitions for practitioners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a recommended set of technology competencies for occupational therapy practitioners.
  • To define minimum knowledge and skills for registered occupational therapists (O.T.R.s) and certified occupational therapy assistants (C.O.T.A.s) in AT.
  • To align with existing AT quality assurance and certification efforts.

Main Methods:

  • A task force convened to develop the competencies.

  • Competencies were created for three practice levels: entry/basic, intermediate, and advanced.
  • The proposed competencies underwent review by professional organizations including the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and RESNA.

    • Main Results:

    • A recommended set of technology competencies for occupational therapy practitioners was created.
    • Competencies address assistive technology (AT) evaluation, intervention, and resource coordination.
    • The competencies define essential skills for O.T.R.s and C.O.T.A.s.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed competencies provide a foundational standard for AT service delivery.
    • These competencies support outcome management by ensuring practitioner quality.
    • The framework is designed to be coordinated with RESNA's AT certification efforts.
