In this subject students will develop knowledge of models, theories and frames of reference that underpin occupational therapy practice, identify decision points and considerations, practise making and justifying clinical decisions about practice scenarios, and reflect on the decision-making process. Students will contextualise decision making as integral to their future professional practice and learn how different types of knowledge, models of practice, professional concepts, and ethical frameworks inform the professional decision making process. Students will develop skills in making informed, respectful and culturally appropriate decisions to facilitate occupational engagement and participation across the lifespan and in a range of practice contexts. Factors including client goals, clinical and research evidence, legal and ethical requirements, and the practice and social contexts will be considered in relation to the decision-making process.
