Abstract

The realm of occupational therapy in acute care has seen dramatic changes throughout the last few decades. Perspectives have deviated from the profession’s roots in occupation-based practice and have morphed to become more in alignment with the medical model of practice. As an occupational therapist practicing in the acute care setting, I wanted to bring to light a technique that practitioners can utilize to change their practice to become more occupation-based. In this autoethnography, I explore a new model of practice and accompanying tool that were

developed to assist practitioners in becoming occupation-based practitioners. Through my own personal experience, I hope to inspire a shift back to the roots of occupational therapy and demonstrate the possibilities for change.
