Introduction to Enabling Occupation (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

Purpose of the course
In this course you will learn the knowledge of occupational therapy process. Occupational therapy is based on the understanding of human occupation and how it is related to health and well being. Occupation is used as a means and as a goal in occupational therapy process.

Competences
Knowledge of occupational therapy
Occupational therapy process and professional reasoning

Learning outcomes
Students understand and can explain how occupation is connected with health and well-being. Students are able to elaborate what client-centeredness/person-centredness means in occupational therapy. Students can explain why theory is needed in occupational therapy and how it guides practical work (theory-model-framework). Students can differentiate main models and compare their core concepts. Students can describe what occupation and participation mean and compare how different models use these concepts to guide practical work. Students can name and identify different phases of the occupational therapy process. They can apply this knowledge through an example. Students recognize and separate different intervention approaches in occupational therapy.

Content

During the course you will study what theories, models and frame of references are in occupational therapy, and how they are used in the clinical reasoning process. During the course, you will study client-centered and occupational-based occupational therapy models. The focus is on how these models conceptualize occupation and guide occupational therapy process.
