Content
In this unit, students will engage with a variety of foundational understandings of the occupational therapy process, including goal setting, assessment, and intervention planning. Students will explore a range of models and theories to inform occupational participation and wellbeing, with a strong emphasis on culturally safe, collaborative relationship-focused and community-led practice. Learning activities will centre the knowledges and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and other communities we work with, challenging students to reflect on their own positionality, power, and assumptions. Assessment and intervention will be explored through collaborative, strengths-based, and decolonising approaches that honour lived and living experience, relationality, and local ways of knowing and doing. Students will also participate in interprofessional learning as part of the Faculty of Health’s Collaborative Practice Curriculum to examine how occupational therapy can contribute meaningfully within broader healthcare teams, and appreciate the roles, responsibilities, and approaches of other health care professionals, and how these intersect with occupational therapy practice. The unit supports students to develop the critical reflexivity, flexibility, and accountability required to work ethically and responsively with children, adolescents, families, schools, and health and community care professionals across diverse community contexts.
