Justification
The department has ongoing instructional supply needs. These needs include classroom-related instructional materials and lab supplies such as arts and crafts supplies for mental health coursework.
Travel to fieldwork sites is necessary to recruit new clinical sites and support existing clinical instructors. Sites are located throughout
Northern California. Training for clinical instructors is necessary on an ongoing basis and particularly when a new evaluation tool is being introduced such as the case in 2003-2004.
The lab equipment is checked over every year to insure that it is safe and functional for student use. Repairs and replacement is made as needed.
Wheelchairs used in lab are most often in need of repair.
Student recruitment and increasing enrollment in the program is a high priority. The current program brochure has been designed as an informational tool and not for marketing. It needs to be revised and reprinted so it can be used as a marketing tool.
The program director needs to keep current on trends in the profession.
National conferences include a meeting for program directors where issues related to OTA programs are discussed and ideas presented (i.e. for recruitment).
