Abstract
From the holistic perspective taken in this research, the descriptions of APL throughout this chapter are imbued with nuances of the professional life-world, but because the focus is on the experience of learning, some life-world details are lightly sketched. To contextualise the phenomenological structure of APL, this chapter begins with a description of the professional life-world drawn from the complete data corpus, with respect to three aspects of the professional context: professional affiliations, employer organisations and local workplaces.

Notes
- 1.
I use the generic term therapist rather than occupational therapist, physiotherapist or speech pathologist and alter some details of practice to maintain anonymity.
