Identification of Legislation:
Worth 15%
The purpose of the assignment is:
Identify, analyze, and evaluate the contextual factors; current policy issues; and socioeconomic, political, geographic, and demographic factors on the delivery of occupational therapy services (B.5.1.).
Identify and analyze existing and future service delivery models and policies, and their potential effect on the practice of occupational therapy and opportunities to address societal needs (B.5.2.).
Identify and evaluate the systems and structures that create federal and state legislation and regulations (B.5.4.).
After you have conducted the interview, you will determine the issues present from the interview and/or lecture content. You will try to identify consistencies and themes in the responses. You will then come to a consensus on a single issue to determine if legislation exists on that issue.
From the interview and course content, identify, analyze, and evaluate the contextual factors; current policy issues; and socioeconomic, political, geographic, and demographic factors on the delivery of occupational therapy services. Try to select the one (issue/contextual factor) that seems to be the most significant and relative to OT practice.
Based upon your identification of a practice issue, each group member will individually search for current AND pending legislation related to that issue using your knowledge of the systems and structures that create legislation. You can begin (and possibly end) your search using the AOTA website (https://www.aota.org/Links to an external site.; AOTA advocacy tabLinks to an external site. ), state OT association websites, and the Library of Congress website (https://www.congress.gov/Links to an external site. ). Find at least 3 pieces of legislation, with at least one of them a pending legislation (it has not become a law yet). If you cannot find legislation specific to the issue, try to find something similar/related.
This is an individual assignment, so each student will turn their own individually unique paper. The paper should include:
Written in essay format with an introduction and conclusion (be sure to use and cite APA format). Use APA for citing and referencing legislation (use the APA manual for this). Paper should be no more than 4 pages, references not included.
A brief description of each piece of legislation (in your own terms, if writing verbatim need to cite appropriately)
The current status of the legislation
A one paragraph synopsis of how the legislation relates to your identified issue tied to occupational therapy.
