Abstract
Abstract
It is the position of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) that occupational therapy practitioners are distinctly qualified to address the impact of chronic conditions on occupational performance and participation across the life span. The purpose of this position statement is twofold. First, it defines chronic conditions and describes the multiple factors associated with the development of one or more chronic conditions. Second, it provides an overview of how the field of occupational therapy has a distinct impact on improving the health and wellness of persons, groups, and populations with or at risk for chronic conditions through health promotion, disease prevention, and intervention.
