It's been years

I don't know... I think the placemat is easier. anybody know where to buy the diagnostic module canvas placemats?

I'm still amazed that the ACL is still done!

Fun time for students

rawr hey you guys should not be mean to my fellow lion

Is this ACU?! I visited in October for a graduate preview day and the room looks extremely familiar!

thank you

Very funny how the crash mat against the cupboard and chair doesn't go up until 4.17 mins, when the speed gets really perilous.

A bit dangerous if the person is too heavy. Person will just hit the wall or cupboard if they forget to maneuver away in time. But a fun exercise.

i feel less embaressed bout going to ot now

very helpful Thank you.

"I need an OT- I need an OT!" "I can't help you." :D LMAO! You guys... so silly! Thx 4 sharing!

$15? Try adding a zero to that.

he looks mean

@OTStudentKaren Thanks for this explanation. The person who trained us was very agressive and angry in her demo, so it came across that the only purpose of the ACLS was to make the client feel stupid...even though it obviously has value as a cognitive assessment.

We use the ACLS. This is a great video for students. A few mistakes here, but overall much more interesting than learning the technique from a text. Excellent resource for students. A big thank you from a fellow OT.

Time for a 'reunion' update: ACL - V!!!

Hello. I love your catapult and was hoping to build one for a children's carnival. Do you have directions? Thanks!

I'm 16 years old. That sounds good. Thanks for the insight.

I know they sit to your right but I have no idea ...I think whatever is comfortable for patient/client. I don't think you could require that!!

Hi! They might find out how you do with your activities of daily life such as bathing, grooming...also harder things like how you manage your budget (depends on how old you are and what you're doing, as to what they check out). Basically they'll try and see what is hard for you, so that maybe they can help make your life easier or more functional. :)

Thanks! I recieve occupational therapy for sensory integration, and I am going to have an occupational therapy assessment at school this next year. I looked up "occupational therapy assessment" to see if I could get a glimpse of what it will look like for me. Looking back at my last comment now, it seems sort of mean. Sorry about that. I understand it now. Your answer was good enough for me. Thanks again.

Thanks! I hope you post some of your own videos sometime :)

Hi Mark, we all just graduated with our masters! I believe Anna, the one who did this treatment, now works in a rehab facility. :) Good luck with OT school! I hope you post your own OT videos some day!

There are some mistakes in this video, it's not perfect, but it definitely helps give a brief and basic understanding of how it works. :) (Written by camera lady).

cry and beg? Just kiding... It depends on why patient is uncooperative. You can try to explain again the purpose, you can try again later, you can give up, you can do whatever you think will help you get the information you need, without harm to the patient of course!

yep! to your right.

Hi! This helps give the therapist some information about how the patient is functioning cognitively...like can they follow directions, can they problem-solve, can they concentrate, etc. The results would be used to gauge at what level the patient is functioning so that treatment would be at the level the patient needs. For example a patient with a lower score will need more assistance...hope that helps. I am sure someone else could provide a better answer though! Thanks for asking.

Sorry if I missed it, but what would this tell an occupational therapist? Would the results be used to help the patient better? What is the purpose of the test? Thanks.

So creative! Thanks for sharing! Melissa, OTAS

Done a wonderful job. Keep posting like this.

what would do if she uncooperative?
