Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cultural competence promotes equity in health care outcomes and ensures that occupational therapists support clients in culturally relevant daily activities. However, it is unclear to what extent occupational therapists in early intervention therapy (EIT) settings practise cultural competence. PURPOSE: To explore how occupational therapists working in EITsettings work towards cultural competence in practice. METHODS: Qualitative methods in the ethnographic tradition were used to explore five occupational therapists' experiences of working with culturally diverse clients. FINDINGS: Four major themes emerged from the data: (1) learning about culture; (2) applying cultural knowledge; (3) reflecting on culture; (4) family-centred partnerships. The first three themes occurred as a dynamic learning process within the context of family-centred partnerships. The findings corresponded with existing models; however, discussions lacked critical examination of power relationships. Implications. Occupational therapists could develop cultural competence further by engaging in reflexive practice and taking actions to promote equity in healthcare outcomes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
