9 Pediatric Occupational Therapy Participation Assessment and Intervention Competency

Course: Occupation-based Practice, Participation, and Health (OTH 6622C)

Description

Students administered an evaluation virtually (with an adolescent) then developed an intervention that the student then simulated with a peer and recorded as a telehealth intervention. The topic was based around occupational participation and had to include a handwashing activity as well as a client-centered activity for participation in an area identified in the assessment. Students then uploaded the video and their corresponding summary of the assessment along with intervention goals.

Assignment Goals/ Outcomes

1. Students will demonstrate competency in planning and carrying out a telehealth intervention.
2. Students will demonstrate an evidence-based, fun, handwashing activity appropriate for an adolescent.

Participation and Health Intervention Competency for Children & Youth (Pairs)

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to:

1. 1. Provide students with experience in clinical reasoning skills for interventions related to adolescent participation and health in (simulated) community settings
   2. Give students the opportunity to practice selecting, analyzing, and teaching a client-centered activity
   3. Expose students to the various ways an activity can be graded to make it either harder or easier
   4. Familiarize students with how to react to (simulated) clinical situations while doing an activity with an adolescent client (simulated/psychomotor skills)

To meet these goals students will participate in a simulated clinical experience where each student will have the opportunity to be a therapist and a client. Professional dress (in polo’s if you have them, if they are in Gainesville other professional dress is ok) required. Also professional background (not in bed, at desk or table- like if you were a working from home professional OT)

Tips and Suggestions for Instructors

• This could be repurposed for any skill you want the student to be able to demonstrate
• Zoom recordings worked best for students to upload
• Keep recordings to 15 minutes or less
• Use speed up feature on video for some sections of recording
• Have frequently used comments saved on a word document to cut and paste into rubric comments
