OTR 640 - Neuro-occupation

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Occupational Therapy

Description:

This course offers the advanced student the opportunity to transform their integrative practice of occupational therapy by linking neurological functioning to occupational performance through the emergent approach of Neuro-Occupation. Neuro-occupation is a holistic perspective that combines the inter-related knowledge of neurology with the patterns, roles, and self-organization that is embedded in the complexity of occupational performance. Neuro-occupation facilitates learning, meaning, behavior, and self-organization in the context of occupation in natural environments. The course will guide the student through a review of neuro-anatomy and function through case examples of clients who exhibit neurological challenges. The student will engage in context specific classroom and on-line reading, discussion, and application of the nonlinear dynamics of human occupation.
