This unit will explore the potential contribution of the occupational therapist during childhood and examine occupational performance profiles for children with different conditions. You will learn to apply occupational therapy processes for assessment, goal setting and carrying out interventions with children and be introduced to professional reasoning and evidence based practice in the paediatric context. Your learning will be enhanced through regular work integrated learning visits during the term, during which you will gain practical experience working with children. You will learn how teams work together with children and families to address their needs. Selected issues impacting upon occupational performance from birth to middle childhood will be explored using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework, and occupational therapy practice models.
