Client Centered Experience In Occupational Therapy

Client centered means that the OT practitioner collaborates with the client about what goals will be during therapy. It focuses on what the client wishes to gain from their experience in occupational therapy. While in fieldwork, the OT asked a child’s mother what subjects were becoming really difficult for him. She told the therapist that it was shapes and writing. The OT spent time with the child on how to draw shapes and extensive pre-writing skills. I believe this is client centered as it focuses on what topics the child really needs to learn, not what the practitioner wants to do with him. So I have seen some occupational therapy that was definitely client centered.
