Course description
This course will assist students to develop an understanding of the impact of injury, acute illness & chronic medical conditions on client's occupational performance & participation. Students will learn from the lived experience of adult clients & will develop skills in information gathering, service provision & service evaluation for these clients. This course examines problems in occupational performance and participation encountered by adults with acute and chronic neurological and medical conditions. Through the examination of case material, students will develop clinical reasoning skills, practical skills, experience and knowledge of a variety of problems of performance encountered by clients. They will also explore a range of approaches and interventions, within the context of a range of occupational therapy models, to assist clients to overcome these problems. Students will be required to draw on knowledge and skills acquired from both occupational therapy and other university courses to enhance their learning in this course.
