Client access to occupational therapy can be improved by the timely and appropriate involvement of OTAs in service delivery. The knowledge and skills of OTAs have evolved with the advancement in their education to accredited Diploma programs across Canada, while there continues to be OTAs from other educational backgrounds receiving on-the-job training in occupational therapy. The result for clinical practice is the need to review collaboration between therapists and assistants in both public and private funded work environments, including ways to improve and expand OTA involvement in delivering occupational therapy to clients. Professional dialogue must occur to create a vision of effective intraprofessional occupational therapy for our clients resulting in the achievement of optimal occupational performance.
