Core Course 2: Lifestyle Redesign® Intervention Delivery

November 10, 2025 - March 20, 2026

Core Course 2: Lifestyle Redesign Intervention Delivery is designed for participants to obtain understanding of Lifestyle Redesign intervention delivery across the five core domains: meaningful occupations, habits, and routines; occupations relevant to managing chronic conditions; psychosocial well-being and mental health; context and environment; and advocacy and accessing healthcare. Additionally, this course will address Lifestyle Redesign intervention sequencing, reassessment, discharge planning, and relevant documentation. Knowledge checks, reflection questions, and quizzes will provide the opportunity to analyze use of the intervention framework within current OT activities and demonstrate understanding of concepts. Learning activities will enable application of concepts to current and future clients and programs or projects.

Learning Objectives: 
Following the course, participants will be able to:

• Arrange interventions (e.g., time management, lifestyle balance, etc.) relevant to the development of meaningful occupations, habits, and routines within a Lifestyle Redesign OT plan of care
• Demonstrate interventions (e.g., symptom management, sleep hygiene and stimulus control, etc.) relevant to the management of chronic conditions within a Lifestyle Redesign OT plan of care
• Organize interventions relevant to emotional regulation, psychosocial well-being, and mental health within a Lifestyle Redesign OT plan of care
• Explain interventions (e.g., body mechanics, home safety, reasonable accommodations, etc.) relevant to context and environment within a Lifestyle Redesign OT plan of care
• Choose interventions (e.g., communication styles, community resources, etc.) relevant to advocacy and accessing healthcare within a Lifestyle Redesign OT plan of care
• Apply the Lifestyle Redesign intervention framework to intervention sequencing, reassessment, and discharge processes
  
  

Schedule: 

This course utilizes a paced asynchronous format, meaning that it is designed with a set pacing to ensure each participant completes the course within the designated time frame allotted. Course assignments will have suggested deadlines to help participants progress through the course in a timely manner and complete all course requirements by the course closing date of March 20, 2026. Participants should plan to spend 2-4 hours each week reviewing course lectures and completing assignments.

The course is divided into several modules, which will all be available at the beginning date of the course and progress through an adaptive release process. Participants must complete all required components of one module (e.g., lectures have been viewed, assignments have been submitted) before proceeding to the next module. All course requirements (i.e. lectures, videos, assignments, course evaluation) must be completed by the course closing date of March 20, 2026.

Note: There will be a winter break between late-December and mid-January (exact dates to be determined).  

While synchronous (“live”) participation is not required, there will be opportunities to engage in optional synchronous discussion sessions, and communicate with instructors for questions and feedback, throughout the course.
