This course advances knowledge in the areas of policy and advocacy that affect occupational therapy services across practice areas. Some issues from earlier coursework, such as in leadership and management, are revisited. However, in this course, students discover how and why these issues are formed and how and why they change over time. Students reflect upon their own practice and explore and discuss how occupational therapists can influence these systems issues across settings. This knowledge is then applied to a practice setting in order to further develop expertise.

In this course students complete a minimum of 20 hours of work in a clinical setting or some other setting that provides professional development experience specifically relevant to his or her course of study. Experiential learning opportunities are designed to help students develop meaningful connections between their course of study and communities of practice to promote students' advanced knowledge and application of occupational therapy practice in order to further refine their professional craft knowledge.

This course continues to prepare students to work with infants, children, and adolescents across settings and diagnoses in order to support development, occupational performance, participation, and health and wellness. Students will develop knowledge and strategies to analyze, apply, and evaluate the occupational therapy process at the population and systems levels in addition to the individual.

This course continues to prepare students in the occupational therapy processes of evaluation and intervention planning for adults with occupational performance deficits that result from a variety of acquired musculoskeletal and/or neurological conditions.

The domain and process of occupational therapy services for infants, children and adolescents across a variety of settings will be discussed and explored with an emphasis on theoretical, legal and ethical foundations to pediatric practice, diagnosis, evaluation, intervention and outcomes. Students will analyze, apply and evaluate a variety of evidence to support clinical and professional reasoning when working with this population.

This course addresses evaluation and treatment of adults with occupational performance deficits that result from a variety of acquired musculoskeletal and/or neurological disorders. Building upon foundational information learned in the introduction to evaluation and treatment courses, students will analyze, apply, and evaluate scientific evidence to understanding assessment and treatment principles specific to adult populations, utilizing a variety of models and frames of reference to inform their clinical reasoning.

This course prepares students to analyze, apply, and evaluate the person-task-environment interaction of individuals with various disabilities and impairments, with an emphasis on services addressing advanced technology, ergonomics, and work.

This course is the last in a series in which students design and implement an original research project. Students complete their project including a professional paper. The course culminates in a presentation by the student to the campus and wider community on the entire project.
