Courses
OCCTH 543 - Student Selected Module
Students are required to complete a minimum of two OCCTH modules or their equivalent (eg. an Independent Study OCCTH 599 or another department-approved external equivalent course). In addition, they must complete two modules from among those specified by the department. Note: Course title is variable; course may be repeated.

The focus in the course is to transition from entry-level student to entry-level clinician. The course will include a comprehensive clinical capping assessment that is designed to use practical course content and activities in applying entry-level competencies.

Students explore occupational participation for children and how it is influenced by developmental trajectories, life events and opportunities, family contexts, and broader environments. The occupational therapist's role in supporting children, families and communities is explored through family-centered and strengths-based perspectives.
