Possible changes to your unit's learning activities and assessment items

For the remainder of 2020, resulting from Australian Government's directives requiring physical distancing and restrictions on movement because of the COVID-19 pandemic, any exams that are required for assessment in a unit will be online exams. Online exams may also use online proctoring to help assure the academic integrity of those exams. Please contact your unit convener with any questions.

While the University has made efforts to ensure that Unit Outlines reflect a unit’s learning activities and assessment items, any changes to Australian Government directives because of the COVID-19 pandemic may require changes to these during the semester to ensure the safety and well being of students and staff. These changes will not be updated in the published unit outline, but will be communicated to you via your unit’s UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. Any changes made will continue to meet the unit’s learning outcomes, as described in the Unit Outline.

Syllabus

This unit introduces students to child and adolescent occupations using an occupational development framework. Students will explore how infants and young children initially engage in occupations to facilitate development as occupational beings across childhood and adolescence. Students will identify barriers and challenges to occupational performance and how occupational therapy can support occupational performance for children and adolescents.

This unit is co-taught with Humans as Occupational Beings 1 PG, 8937.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Evaluate information gathered from an assessment of occupational performance of a child and or adolescent;

2. Apply established theories to develop programs to promote occupational performance and participation of children and or adolescents; and

3. Explain to specialist and non-specialist audiences their rationale for implementing occupation-focused services for children and or adolescents in various practice settings by drawing upon on theory and research.
