The fourth edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF-4) is an official AOTA document, revised by its Commission on Practice and adopted by the Representative Assembly in May 2020. It was published as a supplement to the American Journal of Occupational Therapy.

It is meant for occupational therapy practitioners and students, as well as other health professionals, educators, researchers, payers, policymakers and consumers. It summarizes the connected ideas that describe occupational therapy practice, and it replaces the 2014 third edition.
