Abstract
This capstone project was completed working in collaboration with the YWCA of Bucks County and worked to address organizational barriers to participation in after-school programming. Based on initial staff interviews, the project that initially appeared to be most effective fostered more effective communication between YWCA staff and parents. However, following a needs assessment conducted during Phase One of the project, the barriers identified during the needs assessment differed significantly from those identified during the preliminary interviews. Based on these findings, the focus of the project shifted. These barriers were categorized into Context and Performance Patterns, based on the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF) and interventions were developed to address both of these areas. Interventions focused on multiple interconnected environmental barriers, and broader organizational barriers to communication, ultimately developing a set of recommendations for YWCA staff to guide future steps.
