About this Unit
The process of ageing will be examined critically using the biopsychosocial model. Students will use research evidence to prepare occupational therapy intervention for older people and their families that promotes quality of life and maximum social participation. Students will reflect on their own attitudes towards ageing and how social stereotypes of older people must be challenged to promote a positive view of this stage of life.
