Remediation Ideas for Grading Activities Dr. Traci O’Connor Dr. Lisa Tekell
Difficulty Grading Activities • Students have difficulty adapting tasks to make just the right challenges for clients • May make tasks too easy/boring or hard/frustrating • Clients do not experience success http://healthprofessions.missouri.edu/services/images/OTAdultClinic.1.jpg
Identify Activity Rationale • Have students consider these questions: • Are these activities appropriate for the clients? • Culture? • Age? • Gender? • Are the clients intrinsically motivated to perform these activities? • Are these tasks easily adaptable? http://www.ctcqc.org/Photos/Services/OT/OT_0161.jpg
Task Analysis • Have students list steps of activities, assistance/cues to provide, and how to gradually increase/decrease performance demands • Example Chart
Task Analysis • Students should consider: • Task demands • Possible changes (positioning of clients and materials, sizes of materials, types of tools, types of cues, amounts of assistance) • Changing environments or tasks • Writing this prior to treatment for cognitive analysis http://sensorysmarts.com/images/lindsey-arlo-ball.jpg
Synthesis • Task demands are changed to match client abilities • Essence of grading a task • If students have problems with this component, have them analyze the same task with two very different patients (a five year-old with CP and an adult with TBI) • Discuss the analysis and synthesis components with the students http://www.nwpediatrictherapy.com/images/photostogo-536417.jpg
