AOTA Practice Guidelines

Based on findings of systematic reviews, AOTA’s topic-specific Practice Guidelines present clinical recommendations and tools for translating knowledge to guide your practice and serve as a reference for people who manage, reimburse, or set policy regarding occupational therapy services. AOTA Practice Guidelines are reviewed by a multidisciplinary advisory group, which includes external stakeholders (e.g., consumers) and policy analysts. The following AOTA Practice Guidelines were published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy.

Five AOTA Practice Guidelines focusing on autism, Alzheimer’s, stroke, TBI, and cancer were accepted to the ECRI Guidelines Trust (EGT) (https://guidelines.ecri.org/public?%3Fq%3Doccupational%20therapy). EGT is an independent, nonprofit organization that rates guidelines based on rigorous criteria that follow standards for development and trustworthiness published by the Institute for Medicine. The five AOTA Practice Guidelines are also included in Ovid’s Evidence-Based Health Collection of resources to guide clinical decisions and patient care.
