Children deserve the best support to reach their full potential. At UNH, future occupational therapists are learning how to unlock that potential through specialized evaluation and intervention techniques.

🌟 Course Spotlight: Occupational Therapy Evaluation and Intervention for Children

In this lab course, students develop expertise in assessing and supporting children across different developmental stages and needs, with the goal of mastering the clinical reasoning skills essential for pediatric occupational therapy practice.

The class captured in these photos focused on sensory processing evaluation and intervention training. This means that students practiced techniques they'll use to help children who struggle with sensory challenges that can impact everything from classroom focus to playground participation.

Throughout the semester, students dive deep into evaluating and addressing performance skills including fine motor coordination, visual processing, executive functioning and emotional regulation. They learn to support children's success in daily activities like getting dressed, playing with friends, succeeding in school and managing their health.

Under Clinical Assistant Professor Casey Rabideau's guidance, students bridge theory and practice in ways that prepare them for real-world clinical settings. The course's emphasis on hands-on learning gives students confidence and competence that translates directly into their future careers helping children and families.

What makes this course special? Students get to experience the joy of bringing classroom knowledge to life through practical application and prepare to make a meaningful difference in young lives.
