Description:

In this course, consisting of three hours of lecture and three hours of experiential laboratory instruction per week, students will develop entry-level occupational therapy assistant skills in evaluation, intervention and communication as they relate to providing occupational therapy services to children and adolescents whose physical, developmental or behavioral conditions interfere with their occupational performance. When focusing on the evaluation of these clients, students will gain competence in the role they play in collaborating with their occupational therapist supervisors in collecting initial assessment data. They will understand the goal setting and intervention planning process. Students will learn to conduct occupational therapy interventions with clients based on the plan established by the occupational therapist. Student occupational therapy assistants will learn to develop and execute preparatory, purposeful an occupation-based interventions. Their treatment methods and strategies will be supported by evidence in professional literature and by the expertise of those providing occupational therapy services to children and adolescents in a variety of treatment settings. Finally, students will develop oral, written and non-verbal communication skills necessary for interacting in the occupational therapist-occupational therapy assistant relationship, sharing information with colleagues from different disciplines, educating and training clients and their caregivers and documenting clients progress.
