Publisher's Synopsis

What can occupational therapy practitioners in the Global North learn from the ways OT is practiced across Latin America? This book offers a deep dive into the rich epistemologies, practices, and critical perspectives of Latin American occupational therapists. Featuring contributions from over 30 authors and collaborators across 15 Latin American countries, it presents a ground breaking resource that addresses urgent global challenges such as discrimination, migration, social inequality, and systemic injustice.

Edited by an international team of scholars, the book bridges cultural and professional divides, providing practical tools, case studies, and reflective exercises to enhance education, research, and practice. Tailored for anglophone audiences, it encourages transformative inter-regional dialogue and inspires a more inclusive, justice-driven approach to occupational therapy.
