Introduction to Occupational Therapy Exam 1 Practice Test

The question is about identifying the historical founders of the occupational therapy profession. The six individuals commonly credited with founding OT (through shaping its education, organizations, and therapeutic approach) are George Edward Barton, William Rush Dunton Jr., Eleanor Clarke Slagle, Susan Cox Johnson, Thomas B. Kidner, and Isabel Adams Hampton Robb. Florence Nightingale, while a pivotal figure in nursing and hospital reform, did not found or establish occupational therapy. Her influence is in nursing, not the development of OT as a distinct profession. So the person not listed among the six founders is Florence Nightingale.
