Context and Occupational Performance

This course provides students the knowledge and resources needed for effective clinical reasoning about occupation-based practice for individuals living with long-term conditions. Understanding the implications of context (e.g., physical, social, financial) for occupational performance among this population is emphasized throughout the course, in particular policies and systems that influence practice. Content focuses on enhancing performance of meaningful occupations (e.g., ADL/IADLs, work, education, play, leisure, and social participation) through compensatory and adaptive approaches. 4 credits, 1st semester
