This course optimizes meaningful occupational performance of adults and older adults in all practice settings, considering human factors (i.e., cognition, psychosocial, perceptual), contexts,environments and occupational demands. Awareness and application of these three behavioral dynamics though planned therapeutic use of self are vital in every encounter with patients, clients, and families. Students learn to convey the distinct value of occupational therapy as members of an interprofessional mental health team and as advocates for individual and community with mental health problems.
