OCCT12004 Occupational Performance Across the Lifespan 2

Course details

Students will build on foundation knowledge of lifespan development to understand the occupational roles of adults from young adulthood to old age. Selected issues impacting upon occupational performance during this development period will be explored using an overarching health framework (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, also known as ICF) and occupational therapy practice models. The potential contribution of the occupational therapist during each phase will be highlighted. Learning will be enhanced through working with adults in a range of settings and gaining practice in application of the occupational therapy process (10 weekly fieldwork visits). The role of the occupational therapist in the facilitation of occupationally-inclusive interventions will be explored. Students will be introduced to clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice in the context of working with adults and older people.
