RHAB 242 - Practice Skills - Occupational Therapy Assistant Foundations

Description
This course explores core concepts and principles that provide the occupational therapy assistant (OTA) with a solid foundation in the history, theory, and basic clinical skills required for providing client-centred care. The relationship between a client’s cognitive, visual, sensory or perceptual impairment is examined in relation to three important occupational performance areas: self care, leisure and productivity/work. Activity analysis, grading, environmental assessment techniques and teaching and learning styles are emphasized in developing and implementing occupational therapy interventions to help clients live independently.
