Abstract

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. Evidence highlights the centrality of the family in child development, yet understanding of how families compose everyday life is limited. This study examined the validity of the Engagement in Family Occupation Measure to ensure it represents the scope of family occupations. Ten OTs and 11 families raising children were interviewed. Findings revealed significant discrepancies in valued family occupations between families and OT professionals. Primary Author and Speaker: Katelyn R.
