| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The SUNY Orange OTA Program will develop innovative learning experiences designed to expand community-based learning opportunities for students and to foster reciprocal relationships between academic and community partners to promote delivery of occupational therapy services through the formation of Community Connections: Partners for Learning and Service
***This is a potential revenue producing project, through fees for service, grants and rental income of OTA lab space to OT practitioners***
Examples of available programs include:
1. The Health Professions Problem-Solvers Network: A brainstorming network for use by community members seeking rehabilitation related information. Such as consulting for home modifications and adaptations for individuals with physical challenges.
2. OT “Learning/Living Laboratory Resources, information and innovative occupational therapy services available to community members utilizing the SUNY Orange Center for Assistive Technology on both the Middletown and the Newburgh Campus
