Enabling Occupation with Adults: Part I

This course will address theoretical and practical content regarding occupational therapy practice with adults. The course builds on the foundational knowledge and skill developed in Year 1. It provides an opportunity for the application of that knowledge to case-based material and begins to prepare the student to work with adult clients in particular. Interventions that can enable occupation and promote health for adults with or at risk for musculo-skeletal, psycho-social, and neuro-cognitive/neuro-motor conditions will be examined, including those interventions that consider both the environment and the person. Appropriate assessments will also be addressed. Students will learn to apply the Occupational Performance Process Model to common and complex challenges encountered by adults.
