This unit provides students with core skills for paediatric practice in occupational therapy. These skills include information gathering, building rapport with clients and families, engaging collaboratively with key stakeholders/caregivers, assessment administration, goal setting, and intervention planning, delivery and evaluation. The unit provides you with knowledge and evidence-based practice principles related to these skills and the opportunity to develop and apply their skills through practice education. You will complete 40 hours of practice education in community or clinic-based settings to a group of children. As part of the unit, you will learn from, engage with, and receive feedback from service recipients.
