Identify therapeutic settings.

Identification should include

• work settings (e.g., schools, acute care hospitals, in-patient rehabilitation hospitals, out-patient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, psychiatric facilities, assisted living, private practice, fitness facilities, home health care)
• regulatory requirements for each type of facility (e.g., documentation, health insurance, facility licensure).

Process/Skill Questions:

• What are the roles of physical therapists and occupational therapists in each healthcare setting?
• What types of clients and disabilities are seen in each setting?
• How may the job responsibilities differ from one setting to another?
• What healthcare team members appear in each healthcare setting?
