Students will develop skills in creating partnerships to enhance occupational engagement through observation, interactions, client-centred interviewing, questioning, collaborative goal setting and consultation, being mindful of the contextual factors that influence occupation. Students will extend and apply foundation skills in interpersonal and written communication, therapeutic use of self, introductory group dynamics, articulating occupational therapy concepts, and professional documentation. This subject will ensure that students learn and apply the foundational skills of enabling occupation, with a focus on creating and developing partnerships with individuals, groups and communities. Students will gain an appreciation of the contextual issues that influence occupation, health and well-being of individuals, groups and communities. This subject aims to consolidate learning through year one to ensure that students are able to apply knowledge of occupation and analyse the occupation of individuals, groups and communities.
