Students have the opportunity to learn about community health agencies, the needs of clients in the community, and the role of occupational therapy in a community health setting. Students complete an organizational analysis, learning contract, and case study of one agency client. Upon completion of the clinical portion of Fieldwork I, students exchange information regarding the various programs in the multiple community agencies in which they participated. These ideas are then explored and synthesized into a meaningful presentation aimed at educating the clinical agency facilitators.
Students also plan and implement an occupational therapy group activity program.
