OT 627 - Enabling Occupational Participation through Assistive Technology

In this course, students explore low to high tech equipment and devices designed to support occupational participation for individuals with mild to significant disabilities in a range of environments. Students will apply prior learning to assessment and intervention of client need including adaptive seating and mobility equipment/devices. Traditional and alternative funding resources will be addressed. This course will include the 5th module provided in collaboration with the Hynes Institute of Entrepreneurship and Innovation that will support students applying their knowledge about design, innovation, and entrepreneurship to the creation of an assistive device for a person with a disability.
