Promoting Participation-Focused Practices in Inclusive Educational Settings: Stakeholders' Perspectives Following a Knowledge Translation Initiative

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Targeting different stakeholders at the micro and meso levels of the educational system can initiate a shift in practice toward a focus on participation. KT intersectoral initiatives at the macro level (e.g., targeting community services and local policies), and engaging other stakeholders (e.g., students, families, and educators), are required to ensure the sustainability of participation-based practices. What This Article Adds: The authors present two knowledge translation programs that target both occupational therapists and managers in the educational system. The programs promote a shift in school-based occupational therapy services toward a focus on participation and environment.PMID:37922537 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050262
