This course is the second of two courses with the same focus.  It is an advanced course to develop creative problem-solving, clinical reasoning, and documentation skills through exposure to barriers for safety and independence. Grading and adaptation of activities are explored more in depth. Models and theories of occupation are applied and the effects on performance are examined.  Students examine universal design principles and environmental modifications for work, home and the community.
