Conceptual Framework
Conceptual Framework
This image portrays key themes from project O&M FLIP.
At the center, university collaborators will be partnering with Dr. Sandra Rosen to infuse her deep expertise as a PT and O&M into a shared course on proprioceptive assessment and teaching.
Surrounding the center, there is a representation of enrichments that will be provided by the three university partners: Portland State, Western Michigan, and University of Pittsburgh.
The outer rings in this conceptual model represent the connections that will be made across the cohorts at each university.
