2016.10.29 National Occupational Therapy Education Forum and The 9^th Occupational Science Symposium and Workshop. It is a pleasure to invite Drs. Barbara A. Boyt Schell and John W. Schell to give lectures on this important topic. Drs. Schell are the authors of the Clinical and Professional Reasoning in Occupational Therapy. As pointed out by Dr. Schell, it is crucial as an occupational therapy instructor to reflect on teaching practices. What are we asking our students to learn? Professional practice involves the professional reasoning as it guides our therapy actions. Thus, the reflection on reasoning and actions in light of outcomes. In addition, it is essential for our students to develop professional reasoning skills. The professional reasoning is an ecological processes that compose of practitioner, client, and practice context. Our selves as the professionals shape the world we see; our clients also see the world through their own lenses. Personal and professional lenses of both therapist and clinician shape occupational therapists professional reasoning. Therefore, therapy is co-constructed between therapist and client within the practice context, and thus professional reasoning is a transactional process resulting in therapy actions and outcomes.
