OTA students in the OTH 1203 – Human Occupation and Development Across the Life Span participated in a hands-on, collaborative, application based activity.  Students completed the activity as a group.  They created silhouettes replicating of normal human development (from conception to death), characterizing life stages of physical/biological, cognitive, and social-emotional changes, theoretical interpretations, and risk for disease/disability at each stage of life.  The students felt it was a lot of fun, very applicable and easier to retain the information when physically engaged.
