Occupational Therapy
Practice Guidelines for Home
Modifications
By Carol Siebert, MS, OTR/L; Stacy Smallfield,
DrOT, OTR/L; and Susan Stark, PhD, OTR/L
Home modifications support engagement
and participation in the home and community.
The need for home modifications
arises when the features of the environment
pose challenges to occupants that
can create an unsafe situation.
This guideline addresses home modifications as an intervention
to use when a person’s abilities are incompatible with environmental
demands. That intervention includes identifying, developing,
implementing, and training in the use of home modifications.
Using an evidence-based perspective and key concepts from the
Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, this guideline provides
an overview of the occupational therapy process for home modification
interventions, as well as best practices. Topics include
service delivery concepts, team involvement, the home as a context
for practice, and involving family members in the intervention.

Occupational Therapy and Home
Modification: Promoting Safety
and Supporting Participation
Edited by Margaret Christenson, MPH, OTR/L,
FAOTA, and Carla Chase, EdD, OTR/L, CAPS
Participation in meaningful activities in
the home and community contributes
to health, wellness, and good quality of
life. One way that occupational therapy
supports that participation is by advocating
for increased accessibility through
DVD
universal design and environmental modification. Occupational
therapy professionals fill a unique role in environmental modification—through
evaluation, intervention, and outcomes measurement—by
facilitating the creation of a safe, accessible home that
allows people to do what is important and relevant to them.
This publication, which includes a DVD of hundreds of photographic
and video resources, is divided into three sections: “Evaluating
Client and Environment,” “Developing and Implementing
the Plan,” and “Moving the Profession Forward.” Chapters, written
by occupational therapy professionals, as well as policymakers, researchers,
designers, and builders, articulate the meaning of home
to clients, define universal design, offer assessments and outcomes
measurements, delineate collaborative roles, discuss funding options,
and provide networking and marketing guidance.
This text was created for occupational therapy students and
professionals new to home modification but also will benefit those
who have been practicing in this area through discussions of the
latest assessment tools and new assistive technology. Therapists
who work with either adults or children will find helpful guidelines
and suggestions.
