OT 530 Groups

In this course students will develop an understanding of groups theory, group process and practice; how occupational therapists utilize groups for assessment and intervention within particular frames of reference and theoretical models.  Course content is provided primarily in lecture format and, also includes some in-class discussion, demonstrations, readings, experiential opportunities, and community-based observations. Students will experience a variety of some “hands-on” activities, role-plays, videos and demonstrations. In addition, each student will be required to participate in a group experience outside of class time (community-based group) and apply new learning during in-class therapeutic group for her/his peers (during Mental Health Clinical Lab).
