#31: The CORE Approach for Inclusive OT with Brock Cook OT Potential Podcast | Occupational Therapy CEUs

How we understand our role as occupational therapy practitioners makes a huge difference in how we show up for our clients. 
But, unfortunately, some theories of OT practice fail to aid us in practical clinical reasoning that focuses on occupation. 
Luckily, the theories of OT practice that are emerging are getting closer to capturing the care we aspire to deliver—and provide more useful frameworks to guide our clinical reasoning. 
Today we will dive into the CORE Approach. The approach is a mechanism for OTs to understand their practice from an inclusive, occupation-centric lens. It encourages OTs to ask reflexive questions related to the “core” areas of OT: capabilities, opportunities, resources and environments After reviewing an article on the CORE Approach, I am excited to explore this approach more fully, with Brock Cook—an OT from Australia, where this approach was born! Brock is a lecturer at James Cook University will help us understand how the approach can make a tangible difference in your OT practice.
