| Sumario: | Understanding the different possibilities of professional activities that can compose the teams of the Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS), to contribute to social protection, this study aimed to: identify, describe and analyze characteristics of insertion and practices of occupational therapists in SUAS. The methodological procedures were organized in two stages: survey of the number of professionals working in the SUAS and description and analysis of their insertion and practices, with three data sources: online questionnaires (n=241), interviews (10) and visits to work units (four). The results showed that the data from the SUAS Census and the answers from the online questionnaires are congruent, in terms of occupational therapists' professional characteristics. The practices identified from the different stages provided a set of information, included: reception, workshops, individual and family follow-ups, home visits, and intersectoral network articulation. Three analyzes categories were elaborated on the characteristics of the work of occupational therapists. Is expected that the characterization of the practices of social services workers, as specified here by occupational therapists, can offer subsidies for the qualification of the actions paths for all professionals that integrate social services as executors of social protection policy. |
