Introduction The Occupational Therapy in Education (TOE in Spanish) Community of Practice brings together occupational therapists from Latin America and the Caribbean related to the educational field. Framed in this community, it is understood that there is progress in the incursion of occupational therapy in education, but there is a lack of studies that analyze the reality of the region. Objective Analyze the state of occupational therapy in education in Latin America and the Caribbean from the perspective of members of the TOE Community of Practice to understand its scope, challenges and opportunities. Methods Members from Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama presented the state of occupational therapy in education in their countries. This information was analyzed under a qualitative approach, adopting the content analysis method. Results In all participating countries, the presence of the occupational therapist in special education is a constant. In some, their actions in regular inclusive education are beginning to be visible, but the existence of legislation that supports this, varies. The need to incorporate new paradigms that guide the exercise of occupational therapy was evident since in most countries the rehabilitation approach persists. Conclusions The practice of occupational therapy in Latin America and the Caribbean is observed as eclectic; professionals use different approaches based on the needs of their educational systems and legislative opportunities. Theoretical frameworks adjusted to the realities of each country are required, followed by academic training in education and the generation of policies for occupational therapists’ incorporation into the inclusive regular system.

Resumen Introducción La Comunidad de Práctica Terapia Ocupacional en Educación (TOE) reúne terapeutas ocupacionales de Latinoamérica y del Caribe relacionados al sector educativo. Enmarcado en esta comunidad se comprende que existen avances en la incursión de la terapia ocupacional en educación, pero que faltan estudios que analicen la realidad regional. Objetivo Analizar el estado de la terapia ocupacional en educación en Latinoamérica y el Caribe desde la perspectiva de miembros de la Comunidad de Práctica TOE para comprender su alcance, desafíos y oportunidades. Métodos Miembros provenientes de Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Perú, Brasil, Venezuela, México, Costa Rica y Panamá expusieron el estado de la terapia ocupacional en educación en sus países; dicha información fue analizada bajo un enfoque cualitativo, adoptando el método de análisis de contenido. Resultados En todos los países participantes la presencia del terapeuta ocupacional en educación especial es una constante. En algunos empieza a ser visible su actuación en educación regular inclusiva, pero es variable la existencia de legislación que avale su vinculación. Se evidenció la necesidad de incorporar nuevos paradigmas que orienten el ejercicio de la terapia ocupacional ya que en la mayoría de países aún persiste el enfoque de rehabilitación. Conclusiones La práctica de la terapia ocupacional en Latinoamérica y el Caribe se observa como ecléctica, los profesionales usan varias aproximaciones basados en las necesidades de sus sistemas educativos y las oportunidades legislativas. Se requieren marcos teóricos ajustados a las realidades de cada país, acompañados por formación académica en educación y la generación de políticas para su incorporación en el sistema regular inclusivo.
