OT 415 - Gerontology II- Productive Aging

This course examines community and primary care programs designed to support occupational performance for older adults, groups, and populations. Key concepts of productive aging include functional and community mobility, integrated, accessible service, and grading, adapting, and modification of processes and environments. Students will learn to evaluate client needs, and to design interventions that facilitate and support meaningful participation, ensure client safety (physical, mental, and emotional), and promote overall health, well-being, and life satisfaction. In addition to lecture content, practice and performance skills will be developed and reinforced during weekly laboratory sessions and refined during level I fieldwork.
