Under supervision and guidance, the student will complete 320 hours of direct client care, working with those who have physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and/or developmental impairments across the lifespan. To be trained as generalists as required by the program's accreditation, students must experience two distinctly different settings and populations through their Level II fieldwork experiences in OTA 160 and OTA 161. Fieldwork sites are assigned by the program's academic fieldwork coordinator (AFWC). On- boarding requirements vary from one facility to another and are provided to the student from the AFWC. Students are required to complete these requirements promptly to remain eligible for the offered placement. Proof of automobile insurance may be required if driving is involved as part of the clinical experience. Students are responsible for their own housing and transportation to/from the fieldwork site. The program handbook provides additional guidance for eligible students. No part of Level I fieldwork can count towards the required 320 hours for Level II fieldwork. This course is graded Pass/No Pass.
