Students will be introduced to the model of Human Occupation (Kielhofner, 2008) and occupational science concepts including meaning, time use, habits, routines and occupational balance. The students will develop skills in occupational analysis, experiential learning and teaching, critical appraisal of research, team work and client centered and culturally sensitive intentional communication.
