What is occupational formulation?

Occupational formulation is a step in the occupational therapy process that helps connect what you learn during assessment with how you plan and deliver therapy. It's a written summary that brings together key insights about the needs, strengths and challenges of the people accessing your services/you support. It also guides meaningful goal setting and treatment plans. This approach encourages collaboration with the individual and supports clear communication across the team. It offers a unique occupational perspective that helps everyone stay aligned and focused on what matters most to the people you support.

Learning outcomes

You will build your knowledge to:

  • Understand occupational formulation, its foundations and why it is important for practice.
  • Identify and apply the components of a three-part occupational formulation.
