    Community occupational therapy services in Canada are growing. This study profiled 189 services and identified strategies, like the "ripple effect," to boost occupational therapy

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Occupational Therapy
    • Community Health

    Background:

    • International healthcare trends show a rise in community-based services.
    • Despite this trend, most occupational therapists remain in institutional settings.
    • This highlights a gap in community-based occupational therapy practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define and profile existing community occupational therapy services in Canada.
    • To identify the processes and strategies behind the development of these services.
    • To propose a strategy for enhancing occupational therapy's community role.

    Main Methods:

    • A study conducted between 1985 and 1987.
    • Identification of 189 community occupational therapy services (home care, salaried, private/consulting).

    • Key developmental processes and strategies were identified.
    • The study identified 189 distinct community services across Canada.

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational therapy services are expanding into community settings.
    • A "ripple effect" strategy is proposed to enhance occupational therapy's community impact.
    • Further development of community occupational therapy is recommended.
