Talk:Occupational therapy/to do

I would just query and wish to draw your attention to this: What Wikipedia is not on the matter of the ICF and OT. As facscinating and important it is to OTs it's very specific and technical for the general audience...and I don't think arguments about how it relates to OT helps with a "General" encyclopedia definition.

 * Remove subjective comments about status of occupational therapy in Australia compared to other fields.
 * Citations will need to be put in order and cleaned out.
 * History needs to be streamlined/cleaned up due to excessive detail.
 * Add Frames of References. (Suggestion: create LINKS to frames of reference and new articles instead of putting the whole thing in this article)  99.251.176.29 Jipy (talk) 02:22, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Add link to the ICF framework of the World Health Organization. Clarify that OT enables participation, and emphasize the factors in the environment that restrict participation. (I agree --VirtualOT (talk) 07:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC))
 * General descriptions and links to areas of practice and work settings.
 * Ensure a global stance.
 * Ensure ACCESSIBILITY of article's content for people who may have limited ability to read technical information.

---Things that will likely not benefit this article:
 * Salary ranges, as they can be found elsewhere (e.g. jobfutures.ca, NOC-National Occupational Classification, career counselling websites).
 * Specific details regarding education. This may change and, can be found elsewhere.
 * Extensive information on COTA/OTAs. This can be put in another article.
 * Extensive clarification on various terminology. This can be placed in different articles linked to this one.
 * Specific case studies, as it doesn't fit the usual format of Wikipedia.

^^^"A new discipline of occupational science has been developed to enhance the evidence base of the profession even though to the extent that Occupational Therapy will never be on par or as good as a profession as the real superstars of Allied Health i.e. Physiotherapy, Pharmacy, Dietician and Optometry. The only other health profession below occupational therapy are Speech pathology, social work and music therapy." I imagine that this ignorant phrase was not written by an OT, but by someone who cannot see the importance in occupation for every human, nor the role of social workers in the lives of those who need them (etc) and values their own vocation in an elitist manner. This statement should be removed from this page.
 * The sentence in the first paragraph that discusses occupational therapy's inferiority to other professions is completely ridiculous***
