OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PROCESS: ADULTS

Catalog description

This course focuses on the occupational therapy process as it relates to occupational performance in adults. Occupation-based models of practice and frames of reference will be explored to guide clinical reasoning for assessment and intervention services provided to adults whose occupational engagement and performance is impacted by developmental, physical, cognitive, and psychosocial health-related conditions. Screening, assessment, formulation of intervention plans, treatment implementation, discontinuation of services, and documentation will be emphasized. Students participate in Level I fieldwork experiences related to the adult population as a part of this course.
