Abstract
Several theories are used by occupational therapists to describe development. These theories differ in form. Some are stage-descriptive; some are characterized by the unity of change and continuity Stage-descriptive theories are described as prejudicial and antithetical to occupational therapy's philosophy and practice. Theories offering change as adaptive-descriptive are deemed more suitable, as they are consistent with occupational therapy philosophy and can serve as structures for generating data on adaptive change in clinical situations.
