2 units

This course explores the philosophical and theoretical foundations of the profession. The evolving theories, models, and frames of reference which support occupational therapy research and practice are compared and applied to case scenarios. Emphasis will be on the Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance model to guide the OT Process. The meaning and complexity of occupation and occupational performance will be explored as students gain an understanding of humans as occupational beings.
