Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Conference Paper

Abstract

Older adults often have multiple health problems affecting their ability to complete daily occupations. Occupational therapists work with this age group to facilitate functional performance and engagement in occupations. The ageing population and the valued role of occupational therapy is likely to result in more occupational therapists working with older adults in the future. Occupational therapy educators need to ensure that graduates are prepared to provide competent practice in aged care.
