What has remained true in OT?

A concept that has held true from my undergraduate degree's understanding of occupational therapy to, now, currently is that it is always tied to the client's independence. After covering the different eras of OT in our foundations class, an underlying concept that I noticed each era had is that no matter what time period, or the diagnosis mentioned, the client's independence is always something that has been kept in mind during the OT process. The client's independence to conduct various occupations for the different roles they have as an individual is front and center. This concept is what I love so much about OT!
