Nature of Disabilities in RT

Course description

Students examine selected diseases, disabilities, and the aging process with an emphasis on limitations and implications affecting leisure and recreation participation.

The use of proper body mechanics and standard infection control precautions is explored. Principles and theories of death and dying are examined.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
