Occupational Performance, Participation and Wellbeing unit (CXA719)

Introduction

This unit enhances your core threshold learning in occupational therapy process and practice, with attention to skills in task, activity, occupation analysis, grading and occupational adaptation.  You will delineate the use of occupation as means and end to achieve performance and participation outcomes and learn how to develop top down / bottom-up approaches to therapy planning and outcome measurement. You will analyse the relationships between occupational performance, participation, and sustainable occupational wellbeing.  These foundation skills are applied in all occupational therapy contexts and practice settings.  Using domains of occupation as a focus, you will develop professional knowledge and attributes that enable you to consider occupation in its dynamic transactional relationship with people across the lifespan and from different cultural identifications and environments.
