University Program package

The University Program Package is designed to support students' learning about occupational formulation. It is intended to be used flexibly within occupational therapy programs, recognising that courses are structured differently and teaching staff may have varying levels of familiarity with occupational formulation.

The package includes 180 day access* to the Introduction to Occupational Formulation course for 40 students (with a small fee for each additional student). Learning is supported by a workbook, downloads and activities to support consolidation of knowledge, with opportunities to participate in online discussion forums. Additional resources are provided for up to 5 course instructors.

*The 180 days starts from the date on which the student/instructor activates their registration, not the date of purchase.

What students and instructors are saying

I found the course excellent! The resources provided in each module are particularly valuable to students who are beginning to learn and integrate occupational formulation in their practice."

Aleks Westcott, final year OT student, Melbourne

The concepts were presented so clearly I defy the students to not understand!

Lecturer

The topic was interesting and relevant to practice; resources were helpful; I feel I can try writing an occupational formulation.

Student feedback survey rating each item 4-5/5

I noticed that students liked the occupational terminology, application of MOHO in practice, documentation and goal setting guides.

In a subsequent tutorial I noticed student use of occupational language and identification of the person’s role, identify, skills, etc when unpacking scenarios.
