In this unit, you will explore the role of occupational therapy in assisting clients to engage in work, considering historical perspectives as well as contemporary legislative and professional frameworks that guide practice. Building on your emerging task analysis skills, you will identify enablers and barriers to work participation, for use in creating appropriate client-centred goals. You will engage in simulations using occupational therapy tools to evaluate work environments and clients’ functional capacity for work. Learning activities provide you with the opportunity to develop case management and return to work plans for clients with a range of physical and psychosocial conditions.
