In this unit students will apply knowledge about the human body and different contexts to understand how impairments and environmental factors impact people's occupational abilities across the lifespan for individuals, families communities and populations. Students will design ways of enabling participation in occupation, through modification and adaptation
using common aids, equipment and assistive technology. When designing occupational therapy programs for case studies, students will apply theories, models, and professional reasoning. Additionally, students will develop skills in analysis, measurement, communication and manual handling which they will implement during practice education.
