​This is a foundational course in Occupational Science that critically examines current theoretical and conceptual models in occupational science and the evidence supporting human occupation (by occupation, we mean the things people do in their everyday lives).

Course content will explore and critique contemporary theoretical models and the various theoretical constructs that have evolved within the occupational science literature and related interdisciplinary fields that inform occupational science. This course will provide students with the opportunity to examine humans as occupational beings, the relationship between occupation and health and well-being, as well as consider how occupational science theories, models and constructs may be used to address contemporary health and social issues.

This course will encourage students to apply occupational science theories, models and constructs to explain contemporary health and social issues facing society as well as to develop new insights and potential solutions to address them.​
