Occupational Therapy and Play Practice Guideline
Play is a fundamental occupation for children and young people. That is why we have produced an evidence-based practice guideline on play for occupational therapists.
Our Occupational therapy and play practice guideline provides recommendations based on high-quality research evidence. It supports occupational therapists’ use of play in assessment and intervention, and to evaluate play participation as a meaningful occupational therapy goal or outcome for the child or young person.
Looking for a more playful version of the guideline? Check out our film, produced in partnership with HighlySprung, that explains the guideline and its recommendations through a performance by young people.
