Although there are somewhat ambiguity of the role of occupational therapy in Taiwan, 95% of the participated occupational therapists feel that it is a profession worth pursuing further. Comparing with the situations of occupational therapy in America, Japan and Hong Kong, there are some variances in sex of the occupational therapists, places of employment, and patients treated. And the manpower of OT in Taiwan is much shorter than that in other places. The establishment of occupational therapy schools, defining the field of occupational therapy practice and holding a licensing examination, developing community occupational therapy and school services are our goals in the near future.
