Abstract: This invaluable book provides an essential guide to how occupation-centred theories and concepts can be both taught in the classroom and translated into practice. Offering a range of creative strategies that can be tailored to an instructor's preferred teaching style, each chapter features an accessible explanation of a theory or concept, before suggested learning activities that can be adapted to either the classroom, practice placement, or home-study. From mind maps and time diaries to case studies, role play and the ethical use of artificial intelligence, this book is informed by the need to decolonise occupational therapy education, as well as the importance of occupational justice in enacting social transformation. It also features a glossary of 70 key occupational concepts, as well as tools and examples that can act as catalysts for self-directed study. Timely and practical, it will be essential reading for any instructor or lecturer of occupational therapy and occupational science, as well as newly qualified practitioners.
