You will draw on the concepts and principles of occupational therapy and occupational science and apply reflective practice, response to feedback and evidence-based approaches to client centred therapy planning and provision including therapeutic interviewing, occupational performance analysis, and session planning to assist people to meaningfully participate in life.
