School-based occupational therapy in the inclusive education system
Socio-political changes result in new challenges but also opportunities for the emergence of new working methods and fields of work of occupational therapists. The worldwide inclusion movement challenges us to rethink, reevaluate our role as a therapist, and engage in a different way of working. Since the 1980s, occupational therapy has developed and established itself as a supportive service in the inclusive education system in Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian countries. Building on experience and knowledge from research studies, school-based occupational therapy has developed into a context-based work, integrated into inclusive educational institutions.
For this book, theoretically sound and evidence-based models, approaches and frameworks have been selected that reflect the quality standards of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT). Experienced colleagues from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg bring their different experiences and points of view, link them with the best practice results and show how they can be implemented in the German-speaking area in the inclusive education system. Occupational therapists are addressed in the field of pediatrics or in educational institutions, but who have the desire to support inclusive education and have the courage to try new ways of working.
