What is the role of OT and specifically an OTA in these settings?

Instructions:
1. Students will select a traditional practice setting and emerging practice setting to research and write about.
2. Students then must analyze the evidence from the database search. Students are to incorporate this article into the paper.
3. Students will write approximately a 2-3 page paper (not including cover page and reference page) using APA Format.
4. Students will demonstrate advocacy for the profession by including a paragraph in the paper advocating for service delivery changes in the traditional setting to include the emerging practice niche.

When referring to the settings, these are the ones the paper should be about:
Practice setting= children and youth
Traditional= School
Emerging= Transition services
Questions to guide research”
1. What is the role of OT and specifically an OTA in these settings? If not implicit, how do you see yourself working in these environments?
2. Identify the primary health problems addressed in different settings?
3. How would you advocate (speak up for or plead) for service delivery changes in a traditional setting to address emerging practice issues/niches?

****I’m attaching a research article that somehow has to be incorporated into the essay. It talks about the Effectiveness of Transition Readiness Interventions by School-based Occupational Personnel. The paraphrased parts that you use in the paper, need to be highlighted.
For the rest of the paper, you can choose any reliable/scholarly article as a resource.
