The AOTA Centennial Vision outlined in 2007 challenged the occupational therapy profession to become a "powerful, widely recognized, science-driven, and evidence-based" profession that could adapt to changing societal and cultural needs and flourish well into the future. That challenge can be met by simply being effective at what we do; this will increase our value and validate our worth. Neurorehabilitation in occupational therapy can also thrive if we verify that the interventions we use and the strategies we implement are grounded in evidence. Professional effectiveness will emerge by (1) increasing the dissemination of research that supports the methods we use and informs others of the successful patient outcomes we achieve and (2) expanding development and validation of instruments that quantitatively and qualitatively measure functional outcomes. Occupational therapists can individually develop professional effectiveness by fostering greater academic-clinical alliances, objectifying evaluation and intervention methods, and preparing future practitioners appropriately for evidence-driven practice.
2007 年提出的 AOTA 百年愿景挑战了职业治疗专业，要求其成为一个“强大、广泛认可、以科学为驱动、基于证据”的专业，能够适应不断变化的社会和文化需求，并在未来蓬勃发展。这一挑战可以通过我们在工作中做到高效来应对；这将提高我们的价值并验证我们的价值。如果我们能证明我们使用的干预措施和实施的策略是基于证据的，那么职业治疗中的神经康复也可以蓬勃发展。专业有效性将通过以下方式显现：（1）增加支持我们使用的方法的研究的传播，并告知他人我们所取得的成功患者结果；（2）扩大工具的开发和验证，以定量和定性地衡量功能结果。职业治疗师可以通过培养更强的学术-临床联盟、客观评估和干预方法，以及为循证实践适当培养未来的从业者，来单独发展专业有效性。
