Abstract:
Occupational therapists have the knowledge and skill in principles of geriatric health care to qualify them to bring occupational therapy perspectives to curriculums in the community colleges. This article gives an account of how one therapist who had specialized training in gerontology and a background in nursing has been using her skills in a community college. An overview of one course entitled, Leisure Program Planning, illustrates the particular relevance of occupational therapy background and the understanding of role and the multiple factors impinging on individual role enactment to teaching about leisure activity and aging.
