This course will introduce the occupational therapy practice for pediatric populations, with a primary focus on populations of rural Appalachia. The activities of infants, children and youth will be studied along with developmental milestones and how they relate to ADL, play, school, leisure, and social and family interactions. Using clinical reasoning, students will apply various evidenced-based theories and frames of reference associated with pediatric practice. Family centered care and collaborative consultation across a range of settings will be emphasized. This course contains a laboratory component. (Prerequisite- OTD720, OTD728, OTD729, OTD733, OTD739)
