Level I Fieldwork Experience

Level I Fieldwork begins as an integral part of early academic course work, with observation visits of normal human development. Level I continues into second semester as students apply their newly learned therapeutic analysis and activity techniques to a disabled population in the areas of psychosocial, physical or developmental dysfunction including ethical and multicultural considerations. Summer semester, each student is placed for 4 days/wk for 6 weeks in one of a variety of occupational therapy settings in the New England area. Two seminar classes are held at the College during a 6 week period for students to share and process their experiences in fieldwork.
