ADL Treatment and Documentation Guide for Occupational Therapists: Practical Treatment Ideas, Skilled Interventions, and Documentation Strategies for Activities of Daily Living

Treatment planning and documentation don't have to take over your day. This guide gives occupational therapists a clear, practical system for treating activities of daily living and documenting skilled care with confidence. Written for clinicians who work with adults and older adults, it covers eight ADLs, including dressing, toileting, bathing, self-feeding, transfers, and functional mobility. For each one you get the skills the task requires, ready-to-use treatment ideas, and documentation examples written in clear, defensible language. You'll also find clinical reasoning frameworks, adaptive equipment guidance, goal and billing examples, and evidence-based support. Whether you're a seasoned therapist, new grad, student, or assistant, you'll plan treatments with purpose, save time on notes, and clearly show the value of your care.
