It develops their knowledge, skills and attitudes related to the person-occupation-environment [PEO].

They will maximise the potential for individuals to participate in their chosen occupations. They will apply their knowledge of biomechanical principles to the modification of aspects of the human and physical environment to promote participation in everyday living skills.

The student will study the practical skills utilising the evidence base that is involved in the assessment and interventions used to implement a therapeutic program for people with occupational issues involving their everyday living skills. Case based learning [CBL] will be an integral method for achieving learning outcomes.
