A more scientific, objective and professional approach is needed by occupational therapists if they wish to ensure a role in vocational evaluation. The use of work samples in evaluating vocational potential and as a basis for recommending individualised treatment programming is one possible approach. In this article, the author explores the process involved in vocational evaluation and suggests various benefits from following such a procedure.
