Description

This focus of this course is on the analysis of the impact that multidimensional issues related to aging have on functional performance. Issues include normal aging changes in physical, psychosocial and cognitive domains and the common pathologies older adults experience in these areas. Students will examine the evidence supporting various interventions for older adults. Discussions will enhance the role therapists can successfully have in promoting optimal aging for clients and caregivers.
