The occupational therapy adaptive living house is an all-hands-on learning experience for occupational therapy students. Students will gain knowledge and skills for every individual through adapting to the home environment and using devices to assist everyday lifestyles. 
Resources such as occupational therapy material and journals are in the occupational therapy house for student use. Research projects regarding older adult independence and performance are studied by occupational therapy students. The occupational therapy house offers the opportunity for students to study home modifications and assistive devices.
