Abstract

Date Presented 04/05/19

The purpose of this report is to outline the OT process for survivors of human trafficking (n=6) living in community transitional housing. After 12 weeks of intervention, all clients reported an overall improvement in performance and satisfaction in their prioritized areas of occupation. There was a significant difference in the evaluation and re-evaluation scores of performance and satisfaction (p= 0.04).
