NHPOT2015 Physical and Cognitive-neurological Determinants of Occupation
This unit will provide students with a thorough understanding of the physical and cognitive-neurological factors of human performance and how they influence engagement in occupation. The role of occupational therapists in empowering engagement in occupation through addressing physical and cognitive-neurological factors will be the focus of this unit through assessment and enabling strategies. The unit will further establish the practical application of anatomy and physiology, and lifespan development content taught in Year 1. The purpose of this unit is for students to develop professional skills and competencies in assessment, measurement, intervention planning and implementation of enabling strategies to address physical and cognitive-neurological factors that impact on engagement in occupation.
