3.00 Credits
This advance practice seminar is designed to expose students to the specialized area of hand therapy. Hand therapy is a specialized rehabilitation area where either an occupational therapist or a physical therapist can practice. Hand therapists work closely with hand surgeons and orthopedic surgeons. Hand therapists need a detailed, working knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, kinesiology, surgical techniques, and splinting in order to effectively treat these complicated patients. This course is designed to: introduce students to hand therapy; provide a hands-on opportunity for students to apply anatomy; discuss common diagnoses, surgical techniques, treatment protocols, and precautions; and create splinting experts not only in theory but also in technique by having students fabricate a variety of splints.

3.00 Credits
This advanced practice seminar involves critical analysis of pediatric and adolescent occupational therapy theory, treatment and research with an emphasis on sensory integration, including the newest ideas in practice (therapeutic listening, the engine program, craniosacral applications in pediatrics, suck/swallow/breathe activities, school system consultation, etc.). Each student will treat clients at clinical placements in high level integrative practice settings with very experienced therapists in schools and the COTC. Students will get the most out of class if they have completed a pediatric or pediatric mental health fieldwork experience to be enrolled in this class. If you do not meet this criterion, contact the instructor for permission before signing up.

3.00 Credits
Students will learn advanced listening and counseling skills from the theoretical perspectives of health behavior change and re-evaluation counseling. The study and practice of re-evaluation counseling, also known as co-counseling, will deepen the student's ability to listen to life stories and respond effectively to a client's distress. In studying health behavior change, students will learn to assist people in making positive health changes through building rapport, setting an agenda, exploring importance and building confidence. Students will be able to use the skills gained from this class with health care clients in all settings. Cross-listed with IHH 509.

This course looks at sensory processing disorders (SPD), which includes sensory modulation challenges, sensory discrimination challenges, and sensory-based motor challenges. Sensory modulation challenges include sensory defensiveness and sensory under-responsiveness. Discussion of sensory-based motor challenges includes dyspraxia (motor planning difficulties) and sensory discrimination challenges that form the basis for the Sensory Integration (SI) frame of reference (FOR). The course includes presentation of the development of theories that explain SPD and the SI FOR, and the evidenced base that supports the development and use of assessments and treatment strategies. While this course is mainly aimed at occupational therapy students, others who work with children or in mental health may attend with permission.

In faculty-student research teams, students will critically analyze, synthesize, and integrate the findings from the study conducted in OT 517 and prepare a professional paper for possible publication. Students will make a professional oral presentation and respond to feedback from peers and faculty. The course emphasizes advanced professional writing and the ability to synthesize research into a completed manuscript. Through this process, students will become aware of the value of research to the profession.
