OCC100 Occupation and occupational therapy (16)
Enrolment Restriction: Students must be enrolled in the Bachelor of Occupational Therapy
This subject introduces concepts and theories about human occupation with an emphasis on personal, developmental, socio-cultural and socio-political perspectives. The practice of occupational therapy is founded on the notion that what we spend our time doing can enhance or disrupt health and well-being at individual, community, national or even global levels. Within this subject we will identify what is meant by the term occupation and what the critical components of occupational performance are, and then discuss these in relation to occupational therapy assessment and intervention. We will also consider the environment and how this affords or constrains occupational performance and the enablement of occupation.
