Support the health, well-being, and quality of life of older adults!
Here’s the ideal resource for students who are preparing to work with older adults. This text discusses the complexity of the aging experience, the science that contributes to positive aging, and the specific considerations that occupational therapy practitioners must bring to their efforts to support older adults. You’ll find descriptions of the normal aging process, discussions of how health and social factors can impact your clients’ ability to participate in valued occupations, and guidance on how to develop occupation-based strategies for maximizing their well-being.
