As part of the evaluation process, consideration of access to the community (e.g., walkability and the availability of public transportation) and the availability of existing resources to support participation (e.g., family members, friends and coworkers, accommodations, and funding) are critical. As illustrated in Case Study 10-2, contextual factors influence community participation. By including youth in the environmental assessment and collaborative decision-making about available options, an occupational therapy practitioner can evaluate community accessibility and choices for community participation, and guide transition-age youth to take more responsibility in the process.
