    Description
    Through experiential learning, students will explore and develop skills in performing processes required in minor crafts, gross motor activities, Innovation technology (3D Printer, Glowforge, etc) games and simple work tasks. The focus of OT in daily life activities is reviewed. Emphasis is on the use of the occupational therapy practice framework (OTPF) to perform activity analysis and adaptation from the perspective of work and play/leisure tasks throughout the lifespan, and addresses physical, psychosocial and cognitive needs. Safety in the use of therapeutic activities is emphasized. Students will learn to teach techniques in applying therapeutic media to a group.
