Dr Craig Greber has a balanced career across occupational therapy clinical practice, management, teaching and research. He continues to contribute to knowledge and theory development within the profession, including challenging and expanding the founding theoretical premises upon which the profession is based.
Craig’s clinical background is in generalist paediatric occupational therapy and that continues to form the focus of his research interests, however he is also active in investigating the nature of occupational therapy reasoning and the evidence-based practice experiences of clinicians.
An enthusiastic and passionate teacher, Craig seeks to link theory and practice together in ways that build strong practice skills in his students, engaging them in deep reflection about all aspects of their profession.
Craig has a pedagogic interest in occupational therapy curriculum design, scholarship of learning and teaching, and the use of teaching and learning as a therapeutic modality.
His personal motto: “Life itself has no meaning. Rather, we impose meaning on life through the occupations in which we engage.”
