Susan Coppola, MS, OTR/L, BCG, FAOTA; Sharon J. Elliott, MS, OTR/L, BCG, FAOTA; and Pamela E. Toto, MS, OTR/L, BCG, FAOTA
Gerontology is one of the most rapidly growing practice areas in occupational therapy. Strategies to Advance Gerontology Excellence illuminates the aging process from an occupational perspective and showcases the unique expertise of occupational therapy in gerontology. Perhaps the most comprehensive text available on the subject, it focuses on core best practices with older adults and how to approach or prevent problems. It is an exceptional tool in support of the advanced-practice AOTA Board Certification in Gerontology (BCG) and will serve as an outstanding resource for faculty who are developing or revising curricula to prepare graduates for the future.
