This subject provides students with an appreciation of the unique role of Occupational Therapy in advocating and ensuring occupational performance for all clients across the lifespan and across disabilities. Connections between occupation and wellbeing will be explored by applying theory to practice in different contexts. Students will complete a practical experience within a community organisation where they will facilitate and evaluate occupational opportunities with clients. The focus of this subject will include mental health, physical rehab, aged care, children, disability services, and health promotion intervention, where occupational performance effects well-being. This subject will build on clinical reasoning skills and provide opportunities for students to reflect on decisions and practice skills.
