Conceptual Models of the Field of Occupational Therapy

As the culminating project for OT 425 Foundations of Occupation-Centered Practice, the first-year OT students in the course were charged with creating a conceptual model of the field of OT.  In completing this project, learners were encouraged to integrate personal experiences and perceptions and the information and ideas introduced in this course to represent his or her own understanding of the field of occupational therapy.

The following questions were presented along with the instructions for the assignment as a starting point:

•  What is occupational therapy?
• What do occupational therapists do?
• How do occupational therapy practitioners tend to think and act in a professional context?

Students were informed that there was a good deal of freedom in determining what to include and how you want to express their messages, as long as the presentation style was attractive, concise, and meaningful to them as individuals at the beginning of a career path in the field of occupational therapy.

I am impressed and proud of the effort students put into their projects, each of which can be viewed below by clicking on the links provided:
