Handbook

In this subject you will be introduced to the occupational therapy practice education program that will continue throughout the course. This will include orientation to the Occupational Therapy Competency standards, and the Student Practice Evaluation Form- Revised (Second edition) (SPEF-R2) used to evaluate occupational therapy students undertaking professional practice placements. You will critically reflect on your own professional self-management skills and your readiness for participation in 1000 hours of professional practice to meet requirements for registration as an occupational therapist. You will understand your responsibility to practice in an ethical, safe and accountable manner. This will include compliance with university and agency requirements. You will continue to develop self-knowledge and build capabilities in cultural responsiveness. You will demonstrate practice behaviours across four conceptual areas of occupational therapy practice: professionalism, knowledge and learning, occupational therapy process and practice and communication.
