Occupational Therapy Learning Spaces (CSH-023)

Occupational Therapy Learning Spaces is documented in the DePaul Resource Map as research laboratory at DePaul University, College of Science and Health, Department of Rehabilitative Sciences and Professions — Occupational Therapy (MSOT), Lincoln Park (Sheffield — address variants 2400 N / 2250 N Sheffield). DePaul’s MSOT program uses a single Sheffield learning-space complex with named subspaces: a furnished family apartment (including a Hoyer lift for transfer training), a motor gym for sensory-motor learning (swings, climbing, obstacle courses), and flexible classrooms with wall plinths/therapy tables. The spaces sit alongside Speech-Language Pathology. Access: 🔴 Red — Restricted.

Description & capabilities

DePaul’s MSOT program uses a single Sheffield learning-space complex with named subspaces: a furnished family apartment (including a Hoyer lift for transfer training), a motor gym for sensory-motor learning (swings, climbing, obstacle courses), and flexible classrooms with wall plinths/therapy tables. The spaces sit alongside Speech-Language Pathology. Learning methods include simulations, standardized patients, and Simucase, plus Level I/II fieldwork coordinated by the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator.
