Background: Although collaborative consultation has been widely adopted in school-based occupational therapy practice, there is limited conceptual understanding of how collaboration contributes to educationally relevant outcomes for students with disabilities. Even without a clear understanding of the evidence related to school-based occupational therapy services, there continue to be decisions about funding and delivery of services.
Purpose: This paper synthesizes and critically appraises the research literature on collaborative consultation services in school-based occupational therapy in order to provide program administrators with direction for critically examining decision making for service delivery in their districts.
Key Issues: Advancing occupational therapy practice in education settings requires a sound theoretical understanding of collaborative consultation. Distributed cognition offers a more robust understanding of the relationship between educator-therapist collaboration and outcomes of school-based occupational therapy services.
Implications: This review concludes with two fundamental conditions necessary for collaboration between educators and occupational therapists to flourish.

Background: Intact awareness of impaired task performance can facilitate the adoption of cognitive strategies to support performance. However, most studies have not examined awareness of task performance (an element of metacognition) relative to complex everyday activities. The Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA) is a performance-based assessment of functional cognition that includes indicators of awareness during performance of a simulated complex instrumental activity of daily living (IADL).

Background: Exercise or cognitive interventions have already been sufficiently provided to the elderly, and their effectiveness has been proven. However, interventions in the context of promoting social interaction have not been well-implemented for the elderly, and few studies have considered the effectiveness of interaction mediation for the elderly. This study therefore sought to examine the effectiveness of interactive interventions by examining studies that provide interventions focusing on social interactions.
