Coaching & consulting are often used interchangeably, but they are actually two different things. In this episode we review the coaching model--which starts from a place of function and takes people to optimal. Then we discuss the medical model in the context of OT, where we start with dysfunction----when there IS something wrong and our OT skills can make a difference. 

When is it therapy and when is it consulting? We talk about the difference between hands-on, direct OT and using your OT skills in the capacity as an "OT Consultant".
