about the book
This book will help you better understand and practice occupational therapy—especially if you would like to have a nuanced understanding of occupations and practice OT in context.
Occupational Therapy in the Philippines was written by Filipino practitioners, for Filipino practitioners. It redefines what it means to deliver effective, compassionate care in local communities, classrooms, and clinics. Whether you’re a student, a seasoned therapist, or simply curious about the field, this book bridges global concepts with homegrown wisdom.
