  I feel that this article has an important place in occupational therapy practice, because it provides evidence for supporting social engagement through motivated internet use in elderly clients who may be isolated from society. This can be a strategy in the OT tool kit for an elderly client who may wish to seek social engagement, because this type of intervention supports OT practice in that it is client-centered. Instead of teaching basic internet use, OTs can coach older clients on how to navigate their personal interests on the Internet and provide adaptations for successful use.
