Overview

What is This Course About?

The Online Occupational Therapy for Children Course is geared toward providing thorough coverage on the practice of analysing the behaviours and performance of children and implementing interventions based on analysis results. It talks about key themes, models and theories in occupational therapy as well as the primary role of the occupational therapist. It also tackles how children develop physically, psychologically and socially, and looks at certain factors that contribute to their occupational performance. Useful methods and techniques that can be applied in practice to assist children and their families in coping with physical or mental disabilities and the challenges they bring are found in the course as well.

The primary objective of occupational therapy for children is to provide appropriate interventions to children with unique physical, emotional, psychological and social needs. Using the lessons shared in this course, students will develop an in-depth understanding of the important areas of the practice, which should enable them to conduct proper evaluations of children and make suitable recommendations for interventions.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
