This paper discusses the place of occupational therapy technology in practice and the growth of scientific technology. It is suggested that practice is an important source for the development of technological theory. A historical review of the treatment of hand dysfunction in cerebral palsy is presented as an illustration of the development of a specific occupational therapy technology.
