In academia, the capstone is the culminating synthesis of an institution’s curriculum. The capstone project encompasses the topic of occupational justice. Despite a paucity of information from a few scholars in the United States, most of the literature produced is from the international community. Occupational justice is not easily defined or practiced in the boundaries of reimbursement driven models, standardized treatment, productivity standards, cost-containment measures, and financial solvency. As the discipline undergoes a paradigm shift away from a biomedical model and back toward its social roots, Vision 2025 is reflective of that change, as is the subject of occupational justice. The capstone project aims to contribute to the understanding and describe the role of occupational therapy in furthering occupational justice through meaningful engagement and participation in chosen occupations. Additionally, the capstone includes a background literature review, implications for occupational therapy, evidentiary findings, implementation, and a relfection. Lastly, the jewel of the capstone proejct includes a manuscript for potential future publication in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy.
