The purpose of this course is for the student to integrate academic learning with clinical practice. It is designed to enhance clinical reasoning processes by integrating knowledge from previous educational and work experiences with current courses and weekly fieldwork experiences. Fieldwork in combination with PBL, lab, and seminar will focus on reflective processes, therapeutic relationships, ethical practice, and other issues for pediatric and adolescent populations with a variety of needs for occupational therapy services. Self-directed, collaborative learning and class participation are essential aspects of the course. Students will engage in fieldwork seminar during the semester. Each student will attend a six- or eight-week fieldwork experience in a pediatric or adolescent setting.
