OCCT14005 Developing Occupation-Centred Community Programs

Course details

This course prepares students to use their evolving skills and knowledge to evaluate, design and implement occupational therapy programs that will address the complex needs of clients with multiple disabilities and serious mental illness in a variety of community settings. Students will work in small groups on projects identified by local clinicians that will take them into the field to develop, enhance or evaluate programs using an occupational justice lens. Supervision and mentoring will be provided by academic staff in collaboration with community based contacts. Students will accrue a minimum of 150 hours of fieldwork during this course. It will culminate in a student led professional conference. This course may also provide opportunities for honours students to complete research focused projects. It is a capstone course that pulls together the learning experiences of the entire program.
