Occupational Therapy Theory and Process: Adult Rehabilitation and Disability

Catalog description

Establishes a foundational knowledge for assessment of adults in various contexts including the use of subjective and objective measures. Applies an understanding of the occupations of individuals in early to middle adulthood and explores conceptual models of practice, theories, frames of reference and evidence-based therapeutic techniques as a foundation for the OT process for adults with physical dysfunction across the continuum of care. Develops skills through in-depth application of physical agent modalities, durable medical and adaptive equipment selection, design and instruction, orthotic fabrication and fitting, and implementation of evidence-based interventions. Integrates principles of ergonomics in lab sessions. Biopsychosocial consideration guides professional reasoning for application of knowledge and impact of physical disability on participation in everyday life.
