Occupational therapists work with people of all ages who may have experienced injury, illness or disability. They help people to engage in occupations or activities that are meaningful to them and to achieve independence, better health, wellbeing and satisfaction in their lives.

 

In this course, you will learn to identify the physical, psychosocial, cognitive, behavioural and environmental factors that can help or hinder participation in everyday activities.

 

You’ll learn to collaborate with other health professionals to provide cross-disciplinary care focused around the client and their needs.

 

Throughout the course, you’ll learn in laboratories, learning spaces and resource rooms tailored for gaining occupational therapy skills. You’ll also complete approximately 1,000 hours of fieldwork practice in various clinical and industry settings.
