Prin Human Occup & Found Prof
In this course, students will study the origins of human occupation and the evolution of this philosophy into the field of occupational therapy. Students will examine the nature of meaningful occupation in the everyday life and explore changes in occupation across the life span. This course will introduce the potential consequences of occupational deprivation on the independence, life-purpose, and well-being of individuals, groups, and societies. Students will study the history of the field from pioneers of the profession to current contemporary practice and the recognition of occupational science as an academic discipline. Social, political, and economic factors influencing the development of the field will be explored. Students will be introduced to frameworks, models, and theories of practice which will be covered in depth in subsequent program courses. National and international organizations will be reviewed as well as occupational therapy from a global perspective. Applicable Co

Fund & Scope of OT Practice
This course introduces the occupational therapy process with specific emphasis on human interaction and communication. Students will examine the influence of performance patterns (habits roles, routines, and rituals); contexts (cultural, personal, temporal and virtual); and environments (physical and social) on human interaction. Concepts such as authenticity, empathy, and cultural competency will be examined in the context of work with clients, colleagues, and populations. An experiential learning experience with diverse populations is included as a component of this course. This course prepares students for future occupational therapy practice by providing the foundational communication/interaction skills needed for effective practice. Note: Any unexcused non-attendance or dismissal from an internship, practicum, clinical or fieldwork experience will result in a grade of F. The experiential learning component requires a minimum of 20 hours of direct experience. Applicable Course Fee

Analysis of Env/Task/Activity
This course introduces environment, task, and activity analysis as important components of occupational therapy practice. A person’s ability to function in daily life is dependent upon the person’s abilities (performance skills), the demands of the task/activity, and the environment where the action occurs. If a person’s abilities do not allow successful participation in activities or engagement in occupations then changes to the task or environment will be needed. In this course, students will learn basic principles of environmental, task, and activity analysis from the perspective of client/patient need. At the conclusion of this course, students will articulate differences between activity and occupation; understand the therapeutic value of engagement in occupation; and have foundational skills necessary to make adaptations to assist clients participate.
