This book acts as a guide for occupational therapists to develop and continually evaluate trusting working relationships with occupational therapist assistants, resulting in more effective occupational therapy service delivery to clients. To combat the misunderstandings between occupational therapists and OTAs, this book provides theoretical knowledge, practical learning, and case study examples to guide and develop the continual working relationships between occupational therapists and OTAs. The importance of developing a trusting relationship between occupational therapists and OTAs is discussed in detail, and recommended approaches reviewed. Methodologies can be utilized to determine appropriate involvement of OTAs in specific client treatments allowing for a consistent and effective synergy in occupational therapy. This book is an ideal read for occupational therapist students and occupational therapists currently working in a clinical practice in addition to rehabilitation managers and employers.

Heather Gillespie, B.O.T., has been an occupational therapist in Canada since 1977 and has collaborated with OTAs throughout her career. She teaches OTA students online through Medicine Hat College in Alberta.
