Review neurological conditions affecting movement, sensation, coordination, cognition, and daily functioning. Study stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and common neurological rehabilitation principles.

Understand neurological assessment, identify functional limitations, select appropriate occupational therapy interventions, and develop rehabilitation goals that improve independence in daily activities.

Study physical conditions affecting mobility, strength, range of motion, endurance, and functional independence. Review musculoskeletal disorders, orthopedic conditions, functional rehabilitation, and adaptive approaches to daily activities.

Assess physical limitations, identify barriers to participation, apply appropriate therapeutic activities, recommend adaptations, and support independence in self-care and other daily tasks.

Review developmental conditions affecting cognitive, motor, sensory, communication, and adaptive functioning. Study developmental milestones, activity participation, functional challenges, and occupational therapy approaches for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Recognize developmental difficulties, assess functional abilities, identify individual support needs, and plan interventions that promote participation, independence, and adaptive skills.

Focus on workplace ergonomics, injury prevention, safe patient handling, environmental risk factors, occupational hazards, and patient safety principles relevant to occupational therapy practice.

Identify safety risks, assess workplace and environmental barriers, recommend ergonomic modifications, promote safe activity performance, and apply risk-reduction strategies in clinical practice.

Review community-based rehabilitation, assistive devices, environmental adaptation, accessibility, home modifications, and resources that support participation in everyday activities.

Assess environmental and functional needs, identify suitable assistive technologies, recommend appropriate adaptations, and support independence in home, school, work, and community settings.

Study hand anatomy, tendon and nerve injuries, joint disorders, edema, stiffness, pain, splinting principles, and rehabilitation of upper-extremity functional problems.

Assess hand function, recognize common dysfunction patterns, understand splinting and therapeutic exercise principles, and select rehabilitation approaches that support grasp, dexterity, coordination, and functional hand use.

Review mental health conditions, psychosocial challenges, emotional regulation, coping strategies, social participation, daily routines, and occupational therapy interventions that support meaningful activity.

Identify psychosocial barriers, assess occupational performance, use appropriate therapeutic communication, and understand interventions that promote daily functioning, participation, and recovery.

Study pediatric conditions affecting sensory processing, motor development, fine-motor coordination, self-care, play, school participation, and functional independence.

Assess age-appropriate functional abilities, recognize developmental and sensory challenges, plan child-centered therapeutic activities, and support participation across home and educational environments.

The DHA guideline lists this subject a second time without providing a separate subtopic breakdown. Review assistive technology, accessibility, environmental modification, community participation, and functional support services.

Reinforce assistive-device selection, environmental assessment, home and community adaptations, and strategies for supporting safe and independent participation in daily activities.

Review professional conduct, informed consent, patient confidentiality, clinical documentation, professional boundaries, patient autonomy, and ethical decision-making in occupational therapy.

Apply ethical principles to clinical scenarios, communicate professionally, maintain confidentiality, respect patient rights, recognize scope-of-practice limitations, and demonstrate accountability in patient care.
