Occupational Therapists get people to do valuable, simple things

Occupational Therapists identify the best interventions for a patient, taking into consideration their needs and situation. Since the goal is to help people live life successfully, OTs need to provide value through these interventions.

So the OT needs to:

  1. identify appropriate interventions
  2. collaborate on a plan with the patient
  3. successfully get the patient to follow through with plan
  4. see improvement in patient's situation

I probably need citations for previous paragraphs. I think I've read it SOMEWHERE or listened to it somewhere, but where exactly lol.

Sometimes these interventions seem simple, as per Tools for Practice in Occupational Therapy (2000) - Hagedorn, Rosemary

Simple can mean improved adherence. (I know this from somewhere but WHERE?)
Simple can mean that Occupational Therapy is low tech.
Simple can refer to grouping and communication, e.g. (2A1B4) RAMPS Is A Simple Way To Explain OT Interventions
