Abstract

In this response to the Schwartz & Proffitt (2024) letter to the editor, Muntefering et al. (2023) agree that the profession has a duty to support the occupational participation of diverse individuals, including diverse body types, but also affirm that health management is an area of occupation within the practice framework.
