1 Cultural competence in occupational therapy A hot topic is geared at providing occupational therapists and occupational therapy students with a list of references (journals, books, assessments, and additional information) in areas identified as emerging and/or topical by members. CAOT invites you to contribute to the ongoing development of these documents. CAOT would like to thank all the members who participated in the development of this hot topic. Thank you especially to Zofia Kumas-Tan, OT(c), for her significant contribution. Culture Culture refers to the values, beliefs, practices, and experiences that are shared by a group or community of people. These cultural groups or communities can be defined by age, gender, sexual orientation, class, ability, religion, ethnicity, race, and so on. This means that we can think of occupational therapists, for example, people with disabilities, or the elderly, as cultural groups. There are two aspects of culture we can consider: The first aspect is what we usually understand as cultural. It concerns people s values, beliefs and customs. The second aspect, which is less commonly acknowledged, concerns power. Cultural differences are very often accompanied by differences in power and social status. Depending on whether someone belongs to a dominant or a minority cultural group, he/she will likely experience privilege or disadvantage, empowerment or marginalization. Cultural competence refers to the awareness, knowledge and skills required to work effectively and equitably with people whose cultural backgrounds differ from one s own.
