Abstract
All the WFOT member countries endorsed and welcomed the resurgence of discussion about occupation that has been demonstrated in pivotal WFOT documents, such as the minimum standards (WFOT, 2003), definition of OT (WFOT, 2004a) and the Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) position paper (WFOT, 2004b). These documents confirm that occupational therapists are well placed to facilitate community development, health promotion and participation in community through occupation. Occupational Therapists use a people-centered process applying an enabling occupation approach which integrates medical and social knowledge and skills in tune with the WHO's ICF and the underlying philosophy of occupational therapy.
