Best Fit Filter

This framework supports occupational therapists to make clear, defensible decisions when more than one intervention option is viable.

In practice, clinicians are often choosing between several reasonable options rather than a single correct solution. The Best Fit Filter provides a structured way to compare these options, supporting balanced decision-making that reflects the client, environment, and task demands.

• A structured framework for comparing intervention options 
• Guidance for identifying non-negotiables, negotiables, and flexibles 
• Practical prompts to support clinical reasoning 
• A case study activity to apply the framework 
• Support for documenting and justifying decisions

• Occupational therapists working in home modifications or assistive technology 
• Clinicians working within NDIS or community settings 
• Therapists managing complex or competing priorities 
• OTs wanting more confidence in decision-making and justification
