Welcome to the EBPOT podcast. The podcast is designed to help paediatric occupational therapists stay up to date with the latest publications in the world of OT. It's great additional to your CPD portfolio.

Today our focus is two articles presenting results from treatment studies exploring the use of occupational performance coaching. Both articles I'm presenting today are from studies completed in the UK. Both used online delivery models. The first used a one to one approach and the second used a group coaching format.

For those unfamiliar with OPC, it's a collaborative, strengths-based coaching approach that focuses on three key domains: Connect, Structure, and Share. The core idea is that instead of doing things TO families, we work WITH them to help them solve their own problems through guided reflection and collaborative analysis. OPC has been developed by Fi Graham at Otago University. There is a clear fidelity measure which helps people using OPC to know whether they are adhering to the core principles of OPC or not.
