Enabling Participation and Safety in Age
OCCP4081
This unit aims to extend students knowledge by exploring current issues on ageing and occupational therapy. Students will examine models of practice in ageing across multiple settings. Areas addressed may include acute care, transition from hospital to home, social connectedness, mobility and community engagement, falls prevention, dementia, ageing with a disability such as stroke or Parkinson's Disease, and occupational justice for the older person. This unit will encompass both a population and individual health perspective and will examine the diversity of the occupational therapy roles in this area of practice as the population ages.
