OT & ABA – Multidisciplinary Collaboration Series- Module 5 Redone

Reminder: You NEED to watch the entire video before you take the quiz. This is REQUIRED for your Continuing Education Units to be accepted by the Certification Board.

Occupational therapy services enable clients to participate in their everyday life activities in their desired roles, contexts and environments, and life situations. Their scope of practice includes the following domains:

1. ADLs (Activities of Daily Living)
2. IADLs (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living)
3. Rest and Sleep
4. Education
5. Work
6. Play
7. Leisure
8. Social Participation

Except for Rest and Sleep, at a high level, these domains closely resemble the domains in ABA programs.

So… if a client is receiving both O/T and ABA services, who does what? More importantly, who should do what? Add to this conundrum, Speech domains and it becomes clear as mud.
