Occupational Therapy Practice II

Catalog description

This course presents the occupational therapy process for adults with primarily physical, cognitive and perceptual disorders with an emphasis on evidence-based practice. Students apply theory to practice with adults in various contexts. Students select and apply appropriate frames of reference to cases presented via various media. Students learn safety skills specific to physical disabilities settings and learn the importance of team approaches in this practice area. Students further refine skills related to safety, clinical reasoning, therapeutic use of self and intra- and interprofessional communication presented in the previous occupational therapy practice course. The lecture and lab and concurrent Level I fieldwork course allow students to practice skills and documentation from evaluation to discharge planning.
