3 gen 1938 anni - OT Develops Specializations and Furthers Professional Identity

Descrizione:

During the 1930s, Occupational Therapy progressed by including the vocational training, industrial therapy programs, and clinical workshops. These programs were set up to assist newly discharged patients to help them readjust and develop tolerance to work.

Specializations developed in the areas of tuberculosis, paediatrics, and psychiatry.

It is important to note the use of term "specializations" was acceptable in this time period, however that has since changed in Canada as regulated OTs are generalists without specilization options.
