Occupational Therapy Learning Spaces (CSH-023)
Summary đź”´ âś“
- Owner Unit: College of Science and Health
- Sub-unit: Department of Rehabilitative Sciences and Professions — Occupational Therapy (MSOT)
- Content Type: laboratory
- Campus/Location: Lincoln Park (Sheffield — address variants 2400 N / 2250 N Sheffield)
- Last Verified: July 29, 2026
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.
Access status
- Level: red (
Restricted Access) - Rationale: OT apartment, motor gym, and classrooms are program learning spaces for MSOT students; not open campus equipment checkout.
