Abstract

ABSTRACT Occupational science offers a uniquely valuable perspective to policy analysis. Using an occupational justice lens and an occupational rights perspective, I critically examine a local governing text: British Columbia Framework for Accessibility Legislation. My argument highlights occupational injustices and potential injustices that might remain hidden in the absence of an occupational perspective, with a particular focus on elements of choice and variety in occupations that provide meaning and enrichment. Examining governing texts with occupational rights in mind is essential to promoting equity. While this governing text is specific to the British Columbian context in Canada, I demonstrate how an occupational perspective should influence policy, thus speaking to the broader conversation about contributions of occupational science to policy and governance.
