The primary objective in the profession of occupational therapy is to empower individuals across different life challenges and circumstances, enabling people to participate in activities, functions, routines, and other things they want or need to do.

In this field, you will encounter people from all walks of life struggling with various types of disabilities and impairments, whether physical or cognitive.

I will guide you through the arsenal of strategies and techniques you can implement in order to provide pragmatic solutions and positive outcomes for your clients.

You’ll Discover:

  • Contrast Between Working With Children VS Adults

The type of demographic you will be engaging with will greatly vary from the elderly population, young adults, and even children.

Life altering circumstances can happen at any point in a person’s life!

Freak accident, tragic slip and fall, workplace injury, congenital disease or the onset of a novel ailment.

Everyone is susceptible to tragedy that can cause permanent and life changing impediments, which need to be addressed through occupational therapy.

Muhammad Ali is a world-renowned boxer and arguably one of the greatest at his craft, and due to the nature of the boxing profession, he suffered from life-altering injuries, which impaired his control of movement and balance, and he displayed uncontrolled shaking. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at only 42 years of age!

Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.

This goes to show that everyone, whether of great stature or small, can have their lives drastically altered at any point in time irrespective of socioeconomic status, background, achievements, etc.

Hence, there is a need more than ever for occupational therapists!

    I didn’t expect the course to be so detailed!

    I didn’t expect the physiology section of course to be so informative and detailed. I feel better equipped to deal with people facing specific impairments now. I appreciate how the instructor showed how professionals use the DSM – 5 to evaluate certain illnesses. This is a high quality produced course.
