The aim of OT4Parenting is to advance parenting as a core area of occupational therapy practice, education and research.

We believe that every parent matters.

Occupational therapy has great potential to assist parents to optimise their competence and well-being in parenting occupations. 

Occupational therapists can and should be at the forefront for advocating for and facilitating optimum participation in parenting occupations for a wide variety of clients in any area of practice.

At OT4Parenting, we take a parent-centric view of parenting. This means we look at parenting in the same way we would look at employment or self-care roles – with an emphasis on the parent and their occupational performance and satisfaction rather than a child-centric perspective.
