This course builds on the basic concepts taught in OTA 121, 122, 123, and 114. It has two functions: 1) to present in-depth the impact of bio-psycho-social dysfunction on an individual and his/her family throughout the period of childhood and adolescence, including the role of socio-cultural values and their impact on adaptation and 2) to address the acquisition of professional concepts, evaluation and treatment planning skills that reflect current occupational therapy practice with children and adolescents. A pediatric Fieldwork Level I experience is integrated into this course to assist the student with the application of knowledge attained in the classroom. Prerequisites: OTA 121, OTA 122, OTA 123, and OTA 114; Corequisite: OTA 125.
