Friedland, Judith; Polatajko, Helene; Gage, Marie
Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, v68 n5 p301-09 Dec 2001
With government funding, Ontario occupational therapy students were placed in community agencies not typically using therapists, at no cost. Offsite occupational therapists provided supervision. Students learned to work independently and understand the therapist's role in health promotion and prevention. Ongoing funding was provided by 25% of agencies and 75% of university programs. (SK)
