3. Fieldwork Supervisors Ask students to demonstrate how to accurately conduct interventions Think about your performance of a task and the factors that help you refine procedures You probably automatically adjust therapeutic activities based on client performance Students must learn to revise procedures while engaged in therapeutic activities http://www.healthpronet.org/images/ahp_07_0 3_3.jpg

4. Improving Students’ Interventions Ask students to: Practice specific tasks until a certain level of competency is reached Watch videotapes of role models conducting tasks; record observations and identify steps that role models perform more proficiently than the students Write personal learning objectives to measure performance improvements; include measurable criteria, conditions, and timelines http://www.cawn- krantz.com/site/pics/724/58714/231246/316694/ OT_photo.JPG

6. Improving Students’ Interventions Ask students to: Videotape themselves performing tasks; critique themselves using checklist form (see previous slide) Role-play procedures with other students or therapists; have subjects give variety of responses so students learn to score, discontinue, or reconstruct in different scenarios Provide evidence-based research to explain intervention choices Produce “occupation” kits for clients http://www.aboveandbeyondtherapy.com/images /services.jpg
