 Occupational TherapySpecialist 68531255023350Curriculum plan 2020-2190000081324001. Curriculum PrinciplesOccupational Therapy is an important provision for many of our learners within the Specialist sector. Through Occupational Therapy, learners can develop key functional skills for self-care, school work and independent living. In our commitment to inclusion, the provision of Occupational Therapy intervention will be a critical component to supporting the learning of our most vulnerable learners. 2. Subject structure overviewIn deciding which units to offer, we have elected to focus on three core areas: Key skills: These units, such as motor skills and perception, underpin core functioning and support the child across a range of different activities.Specific domains: Three of the units will be designed to support the child with domains within and outside of school life. Unit NumberUnit title Length of unitPrior knowledge required:1Gross motor skills14 lessonsNone2Fine motor skills14 lessonsNone3Visual perception14 lessonsNone4Handwriting14 lessonsNone5Executive functioning/ organisation14 lessonsNone6Activities of daily living 14 lessonsNone3. Suggested sequenceLessons will be delivered in a 2 week block per module. Consideration has been given to the order of the modules: moving from the foundational aspects of the topic (maintaining attention) through to more complex tasks. These units will therefore be delivered in the order outlined in section 2.4.
