OT 610 - Promoting the Occupational Performance and Participation of the Older Adult

In this course, students analyze the effects of the aging process on the individual and explore the relationship between the aging process and the completion of life tasks. They learn to select and use appropriate assessment measures and to use evidence-based interventions to support the older adult’s participation in their daily occupations. This course includes the 4th module that is provided in collaboration with the Hynes Institute of Entrepreneurship and Innovation to facilitate student understanding and application of design principles to home modifications to support the functioning of the older adult.
