|
| Credit Hours: 3 |
| | | Description: The OT Practice Framework will be introduced. This course is designed to stimulate
occupation-based, client-centered practice. This course addresses two areas;
therapeutic media as an avenue of intervention and fundamental design as an avenue
of adaptation. Various avenues of therapeutic media will be explored. Emphasis will
be placed on awareness of activity demands, contexts, adapting, grading, and safe
implementation of occupations or activities. Students will practice activity analysis,
will have opportunity to improve communication and professional skills and will
formulate critical thinking skills required to justify recommendations for interventions
and adaptations. In addition, students will be introduced to fundamental design and
construction and its use in adaptations for the client. Design in the areas of basic
splinting, orthotics, prosthetics, assistive devices and mobility will be explored. The
student will be introduced to the concept of evidence gathering, contributing to
assessment and recommending appropriate interventions.
