Journal of Occupational Science publishes original research and scholarly papers on human occupation, defined here as things people do that have meaning and occupy people’s time, with a particular focus on the reciprocal relationship of occupation and health and well-being. Studies of populations, communities, groups and individuals are accepted, as well as explorations of people’s development as occupational beings, patterns of occupation, societal structuring of occupation, and differential access to occupation. Humanist, Indigenous, population, transactional, evolutionary, biological, ecological, historical, socio-political, philosophical, and biographical perspectives of occupation will be considered.

The journal is an invaluable resource for practitioners, academics, and students, providing descriptions of programs, treatment strategies, examination of clinical decision-making, demonstrations of practice models in present use, and more.
