Translational science bridges a gap between knowledge and practice. There is a need for occupational scientists and therapists to translate knowledge into practice to establish high-value occupation-based intervention. The purpose of this open-access journal is to challenge assumptions, inspire conversation, and facilitate communication by publishing material relevant to practice, education, research, and policy to advance health and well-being.
The mission of Translational Science in Occupation is to freely exchange knowledge about occupation and the practice of occupational therapy with others to advance health and wellness.
