OCC 541B Occupational Performance in Children and Adolescents Skills Lab

This course is an introduction to occupational therapy with children and adolescents. It focuses on occupational behavior, explores developmental theories, occupational therapy frames of reference, and applies both theoretical and empirical evidence to physical and psychosocial conditions typically seen in children and adolescents. Psychosocial factors influencing engagement in occupation will be integrated for the development of client-centered, meaningful, occupation-based outcomes. The course incorporates evidence-based practice and applies knowledge to a variety of clinical and community settings. This lab course incorporates hands-on learning experiences and development of skills based on the knowledge gained in the Occupational Performance in Children and Adolescents course. Students will explore application of occupational therapy theory use in the process of evaluation and intervention, models of practice, and frames of references toward the conditions typically seen in children and adolescents.
