Overview
This unit will prepare you for professional practice education and includes clinical reasoning in relation to the practice activities undertaken and observed. You will apply theoretical knowledge to the practice environment, learn to gather relevant client information, demonstrate client-centred
practice principles, and demonstrate basic documentation skills (including progress notes, intervention goals and objectives). Self-management skills and communication skills with clients and co-workers will be developed in a professional setting and you will reflect on and in practice and be provided with feedback within both academic and clinical contexts. You will also gain experience in critiquing assessment tools that occupational therapists use in a practice context as well as gain skills in clinical documentation needed for practice settings.
