OCCU 572 Level I Fieldwork: Community Interventions

The purpose of this Level I fieldwork is for students to design and implement occupation-centered programs in community-based settings. Students develop an understanding of how psychological and social factors influence engagement in occupation. Students work with a community partner, assessing the needs of the community and developing and implementing an occupation-centered program under the guidance of a faculty member. The experiential learning activities provide further opportunities for students to practice/refine observation, communication, and interpersonal skills as well as demonstrate professional behaviors.
