abstract: 'Introduction This case-study research followed the journey of one person
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
who has severe learning and high support needs as, supported by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupational therapy, she attempted to gain a real paid job.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Method Qualitative triangulated methodology was used, combining a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reflexive account of clinical occupational therapy intervention with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interview data and secondary documentary analysis. The link between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy and practice was also explored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Findings Ultimately, the participant was unsuccessful in gaining a paid
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
job, but remained motivated towards this goal. She became empowered to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
aspire for paid work, voiced opinions, and developed pre-vocational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skills enabling continued pursuit of her goals. Negotiating access to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
potential employers on behalf of the participant was a significant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barrier for the occupational therapist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusion The journey of the participant in seeking paid employment was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a new experience for everyone involved. There was a clear dichotomy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between the aspirational language of policy and the reality of putting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
those aspirations into practice. As occupational therapists increasingly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
move into emerging fields, exploring employment for this client group
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
presents opportunities to apply and expand core occupational therapy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skills, to achieve mutually rewarding co-occupation and to influence an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outstanding issue of occupational injustice.'
