Undergraduate Course Descriptions
OT 302 Foundations in Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is introduced within the context of the Conceptual Framework of
Therapeutic Occupation. Occupation from a historical perspective, the
client-therapist rapport process, and clinical ethics will be addressed. This
course is required for all undergraduate occupational therapy courses or
permission of instructor.
OT 304 Therapeutic Occupation
The course focus is on occupational synthesis used to design occupational forms that
are meaningful and purposeful to elicit occupational performance, adaptation,
and compensation. Occupational analysis purposes and processes will be explored
as a means to design and select individualized therapeutic occupations.
Prerequisite: OT 302 or permission of instructor.
OT 413 Developmental Structure of Neurologic Conditions
Neurological and neuro-muscular systems are studied with selected conditions including
etiology, symptoms, and occupational performance deficits resulting from disease
or injury. Prerequisite: OT 302 or permission of
instructor.
OT 423 Developmental Structure of Orthopedic Conditions
The impact of various diseases and injuries on body structures and functions are
studied. Selected orthopedic and musculo-skeletal conditions including the
etiology, symptoms, and occupational performance deficits resulting from disease
or injury will be addressed. Prerequisite: OT 302 or permission of
instructor.
OT 433 Developmental Structure Across the Lifespan
The impact of various acquired and congenital conditions on occupational performance
along the developmental continuum, with particular emphasis on pediatric and
geriatric populations, is examined.
OT 443 Developmental Structure Psychosocial Conditions
The impact of the etiology, symptomology and functional sequelae of psychiatric,
psychosocial and developmental psychopathology are studied. The psychopathology
and the conditions' effect on occupational performance will be
examined.
