One
of my primary courses to teach is OCCT 6037: OT Process: Applications in Adults
with Neuromuscular Dysfunction. In the curriculum sequence, this course is in
the fifth of six semesters of didactic coursework. It is comprised of 3 lecture
hours and 1 lab hour. The course is a study of theories and approaches of
occupational therapy assessment and intervention for adults with neuromuscular
dysfunction. Conditions covered in the content of this course include stroke;
brain injury; spinal cord injury; and degenerative diseases such as multiple
sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.
As I developed this course, I spent time exploring literature and resources on instructional design, teaching methods, curriculum documents, course documents, and Accreditation Council of Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) standards.
As part of the course design process, I really contemplated how to organize the expansive content required. The content that needed to be covered included multiple neuromuscular conditions, assessment approaches, and treatment approaches and techniques for the variety of conditions. I thought it was important to create a conceptual framework that could be represented graphically and readily shared with the students. Foundational knowledge, covered in the the beginning of the course, is built upon as we cover specific neuromuscular conditions. After may revisions, this is the current graph:
