Course description
This course will provide students with skills to support the development of inclusive communities for people with disability. It will introduce students to the impact of societal attitudes, service systems, policies and legislation, and the natural and built environment, on people's participation in society. It will also provide students with skills in identifying people at risk of exclusion, the barriers to inclusion, and how occupational therapists can contribute to the development of inclusive practices. Students will apply the knowledge and skills gained while working in partnership with a person with disability to analyse environmental factors impacting on inclusion.
