General Information

Overview

In this unit you will be introduced to professional reasoning, evidence based and culturally sensitive practice for occupational therapy in the paediatric context from birth to middle childhood. You will learn to plan occupational therapy evaluations, measurable goals and interventions for children, applying an occupational therapy practice process, evidence based frames of reference and occupational therapy practice models. You will explore key elements of realistic occupational therapy service delivery, using case studies of children with a range of impairments and occupational profiles. You will be coached to take part in interprofessional case discussions that simulate collaboration in a paediatric allied health team. Specific paediatric skills and knowledge will be enhanced through work integrated learning within the term, during which you will gain practical experience working with children.
