ERGOB2000 Rehabilitation, Habilitation and Intervention, Part 1 Course description

The occupational therapist’s interventions in rehabilitation, habilitation and treatment are based on the limitations people experience in relation to occupation and participation. These limitations may be due to individual factors such as illness, injuries or functional impairment, or factors at a system level such as exclusion, marginalisation or other social conditions. The term ‘disability’ is normally used in Norway about the gap between a person’s preconditions and what their environment requires. Occupational therapists contribute to reducing this gap, among others by training and guiding people, adapting and grading activities and adapting the environment. In this course, examples are provided of occupational therapy with children, adolescents, adults and the elderly.

The student must have passed the first year of the programme or equivalent, with the exception of the courses ERGOB1060 and ERGOB1070.
