The dimensions of occupation, as well as its dynamic and reciprocal relationship between the health, wellness and illness continua will be explored. In addition, examination of the lifespan developmental process and its relationship to the performance of societal roles including one’s chosen occupations will be facilitated. Synthesis of the concepts of occupation, wellness and illness continua and changes in physical, environmental and/or occupational opportunity and occupational participation over the lifespan will be reflected upon. Adaptations to maximize social and occupational participation will be considered. The congruence of these concepts with occupational theories will also be discussed. Credit Hours: (3)
