Occupational Therapy Practice 1 CXA717
Introduction
In this professional experience placement unit students examine different contexts of occupation to situate the concept of occupational assessment, analysis and the process of occupational enablement. Students draw on the concepts and principles of occupational science and apply an evidence-based approach to client centred assessment including client interviewing, task analysis, motor skill assessment and intervention (including the utilisation of basic assistive technology). The unit includes experiential learning activities to provide students with practical, interactive and interprofessional opportunities to apply person- centredness, clinical reasoning, critical self-reflection, and evidence-based approaches to the practice of analysing and adapting tasks.
