OTIPM— The Occupational Therapy Intervention Process Model (OTIPM) is a professional reasoning tool that occupational therapists can use to ensure that they are using occupation as a means (interventions) and as end (outcome). Effective use of occupation depends on a concurrent commitment to true top-down and client-centered practice. Occupational therapists can also become better advocates for promoting occupational therapy to consumers, third-party payers, and other professionals if they understand the unique contributions of occupational therapy to healthcare. Stressing occupational performance in evaluations, interventions, and documentation is an important mechanism for promoting quality of life while communicating who occupational therapists are and how what they do is unique. About Anne Fisher, ScD, OTR, FAOTA Professor Fisher is an internationally recognized expert in occupational therapy theory, functional assessment, and instrument development. She developed the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), an innovative, occupational-therapy-specific functional assessment used to test children, adults, and older persons who are experiencing or are at risk for problems with performance of self-care or home maintenance activities of daily living. The AMPS is standardized on approximately 50,000 people for use in more than 20 countries in North America, Scandinavia, Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East. She has also published more than 70 articles in refereed professional journals and more than 15 books or books chapters, and her new book on OTIPM will be out in print shortly. She is a member of the Academy of Research of the American Occupational Therapy Foundation, and was awarded the A. Jean Ayres Award in 1991 in recognition of: her efforts refining and synthesizing the theories of sensory integration and the model of human occupation, for excellence in teaching, and for innovative research in measurement and functional assessment. She was the 1997 recipient of the Eleanor Clarke Slagle Lectureship for distinguished contributions to theory and functional assessment. In her Slagle lecture, Professor Fisher first introduced the Occupational Therapy Intervention Process Model, a professional reasoning model that enables occupational therapists to implement client-centered, occupation-based and true top-down assessment and intervention. In November 2000, Professor Fisher was awarded an honorary doctorate (hedersdoktor) from Umeå University, Sweden, and is the first occupational therapist ever to have been so honored by that institution. Most recently, she was named University Distinguished Professor at Colorado State University, an honor bestowed on only 10 faculty who have made significant national and international contributions to their profession.
