This unit introduces you to assessment and intervention planning as embedded in the occupational therapy practice process. You will learn to understand and plan relevant occupational therapy approaches to collecting information and assessment to address the needs of your clients. You will learn occupational therapy competencies essential for high quality, effective, culturally responsive, and evidence-based assessment and planning practice for people experiencing occupational performance difficulties. You will observe, and apply your understanding of how adults learn and process information, the use of effective and culturally responsive communication skills in a practice education setting. You will also find and use best available evidence including standardised assessments and outcome measures, and develop clinical reasoning skills that will enable you to think critically and make practice decisions in assessment and planning as an occupational therapist.
