This capstone course prepares all students to use their evolving skills and knowledge to evaluate, design and implement occupational therapy programs that will address the complex needs of clients with multiple disabilities and serious mental illness in a variety of community settings. This course will also provide opportunities for honours students to complete research focused projects. Students will work in small groups on projects identified by local clinicians that will take them into the field to develop, enhance or evaluate programs using an occupational justice lens. Honours students may work in small groups or individually depending on the nature of the research project. Supervision and mentoring will be provided by academic staff in collaboration with community based contacts. Students will accrue a minimum of 150 hours of fieldwork during this course. It will culminate in a student led professional conference. Honours students will formally present their research findings to their peers at this conference. It addition they will write a research report in the form of a manuscript for a peer reviewed journal. This capstone course integrates the learning experiences of the entire program.
