Occupational Therapy 3D Printing Project
OCT5015: Context & the Environment on Occupation
The project was organized around the environmental obstacles faced by 4 clients who were referred either by the students or faculty. All had impairments involving movement, vision, cognition, and/or sensory processing. These 3D printed assistive devices were designed by the students to reach the mission of their clients. The project included creation of an occupational profile of the client, the client's goals related to their occupations, identifying possible solutions, and educating the client about those proposed solutions. The solutions they proposed included assistive technology, community resources, and home modification. Students had an initial meeting with the clients, followed up virtually, and had a final "reveal" with the clients last week (August 1st, 2018).- Dr. Rachelle Dorne, Ed.D., OTR/L, CAPS
