Occupational therapy is used to enhance, restore, or maintain participation of infants and their families in everyday home, community and early educational activities. Integrating an understanding of childhood development with family centred practice and early intervention service delivery, students will develop specific assessment, intervention, and evaluation skills to promote participation in everyday activities from infancy through pre school. In doing so, students will address how to provide occupational therapy within a family context, promote quality of life through participation in desired everyday occupation, and consider the complex interaction of a person's capacity (physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning) with environmental factors while focusing on the performance of activities of concern to families.
