Students explore typical contexts for living, working, and leisure for the adolescent, adult and aging adult. Students gain further insight into each stage of development through projects including a personal interview and contextual visit, cinema, or book review. Each student prepares a paper on a topical issue of choice for one of the major time periods. Each class is conducted with a review of relevant reading, student experiences and reflections, and relevance to occupational therapy practice. 2 credits
