Credit(s): 4 (2 OCTR 642, 1 OCTR 643, 1 OCTR 644).
In this course, students have the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and experience in a specialized area of occupational therapy practice. Students work in small groups to investigate and study the professional literature and issues within a special topic area within occupational therapy based neurorehabilitation. Students are provided with opportunities to support program development or the research process related to the specific practice issue(s) studied, analyzed and critiqued. Students observe related occupational therapy practice as appropriate and work closely with faculty members and community clinicians/ stakeholders to develop and create clinical / educational materials, assist professionals in program analysis or development, or participate in a research study. Students also explore how their work may be extended to support occupational therapy practice in the selected area. Students will read about and discuss programs in neurorehabilitation at the individual, group, and population level in a variety of environments. The course series, completed over the course of one academic year, guides the student in the development of a program or research activity related to neurorehabilitation in a chosen practice area/setting. Students are expected to spend a minimum of 120 hours completing their capstone project.
