The role of occupational therapy in foster care is summarized below using material from an AOTA Information Sheet (AOTA, 2017). Services are described at three different levels: intensive, targeted, and universal. The intensive level is directed toward individual children and youth, foster parents, and biological parents (see Box 28-2). The targeted level involves developing services for children and youth within the foster care system who are in at-risk family living situations, and those preparing for reunification. Developing partnerships with child welfare agencies and related institutions, screening resources, and creating programs are examples of universal intervention.
