In this course, students will develop entry-level practice skills for conducting occupational therapy (OT) evaluations and interventions for children. Organized around the OT Practice Framework, students will learn how to collaborate with families and other professionals, develop clinical observation skills, and learn frequently used standardized assessments. Additionally, students will use primary OT frames of reference to plan and implement interventions. Students will apply their understanding of typical and atypical child development, and extend their clinical reasoning skills in order to develop competencies for providing OT services for children and with a variety of conditions across common practice settings.
