The principal recognizes that the teachers may appreciate the idea of the program but make lack interest or feel it's too much. Strategies exist to overcome the challenges of diffusing innovation, including understanding the time and place to disseminate the new program or business to others, recognizing the importance of sharing the evidence behind the proposed program, understanding the interest and demand for the program, and identifying readiness to adopt new approaches or programs (Balas & Chapman, 2018; Dearing & Cox, 2018). Occupational therapy practitioners must be aware of the challenges and strategies of diffusing an innovation as part of planning and implementing a new program or business.
