The textbook Pediatric Skills for Occupational Therapy Assistants, 4th Edition, provides an application-focused resource for pediatric occupational therapy assisting. By incorporating the AOTA Practice Framework, the volume establishes a structured approach to pediatric care while emphasizing interventions tailored to children within their everyday environments.
Core subject areas include typical child and adolescent development, foundational anatomy and physiology, and pediatric health conditions. The text also examines the occupational therapy process across multiple service settings, including educational, medical, and community systems, as well as the acquisition of performance skills and daily occupations.
Throughout the text, case examples offer realistic snapshots that illustrate how core therapeutic concepts translate into clinical practice.
