Humans are occupational beings: Humans need occupations in order to survive, develop, and be healthy and well.

Humans are interconnected with environments: Humans can be understood in the context of their environments, and therefore environments must be taken into consideration.

Human transformation comes from actions and environments: Humans continuously change over time based on their actions and the changes within their environments. Health is seen as a changing state of meaning, satisfaction, well-being, and quality of life.

Occupation-based: Occupational therapists focus on what an individual wants, needs, or is expected to do, and uses activities as interventions. The focus is on occupational performance issues and experiences, which incorporates the idea that humans are dynamic occupational beings who are interconnected with their environments.

Client-centered: Occupational therapists collaborate with individuals to understand their development over time, and to explore occupations and environments that have been meaningful and engaging. These occupations may serve as therapeutic experiences. This is often referred to as client-centered, or person-centered, practice because it focuses on the relationship and individual needs, rather than solely on the expertise of the professional.

Contextual: Occupational therapists see individuals as linked with their environments through occupation, meanings, roles, and routines. This can impact the transfer of skills to different environments. All environments must be considered, including where services are received and where the individual lives.

Evidence-based: While occupational therapists learn a variety of content in their education, the focus is on the understanding of occupations. The use of this knowledge is dependent on the individual and situation; thus occupational therapists must have the ability to integrate knowledge and evidence needed for each setting. This includes the integration of new research as it develops and evolves in practice
