|---|
| 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
3. Parent/Child Play groups A collaborative program with the SUNY Orange Early Childhood Education Program. Weekly play groups offering a family centered fun way for children who may be experiencing a developmental delay and their parents to join other parents and children in exploring ways to create and enjoy play activities.
4. Providing a regional forum for rehabilitation professionals to meet and share ideas. |
