About the course
In this course, occupational therapists and physiotherpists will study separately for the first 7 weeks, focusing on each occupation. During those weeks, the following topics will be covered:
- Occupational therapy and occupational science
- Assessment in dementia care
- Interaction between persons with dementia and the environment
- Activities in everyday life - strategies and awareness
- Everyday technologies and assistive technology for persons with dementia
- Evidence based occupational therapy
The two groups join again in the last module in which you will select an intervention or a way of working that you would like to implement in your practice. You will use the best available research evidence on the topic you addressed in week 6 or perform a new Critically Appraised Topic (CAT).You will review the underlying scientific foundation and consider factors that influence the implementation process. Based on that analysis you shall suggest a plan for implementation.
