This course is the first course in a two-part sequence that uses a life span approach, drawing on occupational science perspectives to study conditions diagnosed during childhood (birth through age 20). The emphasis is on the interaction of the individual (the mind), the body and the psychosocial environment as related to occupational performance. Students will work in pairs to examine selected disorders, and will further develop their presentation skills. This course is a prerequisite for courses in occupational therapy assessment and intervention in pediatric practice. Prereq: KIN 706.
