The international relevance of occupational science concepts will be reviewed alongside recent developments in the ICF classification of dysfunction and health by the World Health Organisation [WHO].This course will focus on the main theoretical areas in this field in the first part and this knowledge will then be integrated into a practical component whereby groups of students will focus on a local organisation or group and will liaise with and design a specific program for that context.
| Objectives | As a result of completing this course students will be able to: 1. Locate, interpret and synthesise literature relating to areas of occupational science enquiry so that this work is evidenced based. 2. Demonstrate an understanding of political, cultural and socio-economic factors that impact upon occupational functioning and well-being for communities. 3. Construct a viable community program that is designed with potential client consultation. 4. Appraise the program upon reflection of the processes that underpinned this task. |
