OCCT12003 Occupational Performance across the Lifespan 1

Course details

This course will assist students to understand the occupational roles of children and young adults. Selected issues impacting upon occupational performance from birth through to young adulthood 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 of development will be highlighted. Learning will be enhanced through working with children in a range of settings and gaining practice in application of the occupational therapy (OT) process (10 weekly fieldwork visits). The occupational therapist¿s role in facilitation of occupationally-inclusive interventions will be explored and students will be introduced to clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice in the context of working with children and young people.
