Thank you for all your videos I passed NBCOT OTR exam on my first try with your knowledge! I subscribed and liked this video and am so grateful for all the info you share with us all 🤩

[@TheOTMinute]

That is awesome! Congrats on that incredible accomplishment and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts regarding the videos that I make. I am happy to hear they are helpful!

[@faemasaoy2233]

This was very thankful! Thank you :) Would be interested to see how this can be applied in case studies!

[@mylifesings]

Your explanation is by far one of the best explanations of the ACL modes of performance. Thank you. Blessings on your journey in your OT career. A mnemonic I learned for the ACLs is: All Players Must Get Every Point

[@TheOTMinute]

mylifesings thank you so much for sharing that mnemonic and for letting me know what you thoughts!

[@mylifesings]

@@TheOTMinute you’re very welcome!

[@mznewyorker15]

I saw that mnemonic on PTOT too!

[@cazl1299]

I really liked the way this was presented. I'm both an auditory and visual learner and I ALWAYS find it so helpful to solidify the information when visuals are included. Also Ive just started watching your videos and I really like them. NBCOT exam in 3 weeks! :D

[@TheOTMinute]

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an encouraging comment! I absolutely agree with you that having both the auditory and the visual support when learning makes it stick. I’m so glad this was helpful and I hope you absolutely crush your exam!:) Please feel free to share it with any classmates who you think might benefit from this. I always appreciate any help I can get to get the word out.

[@sawsansharaf8497]

Great! Thank you so much

I should be paying you tuition!! Thank you for these videos. They are so helpful :)

[@TheOTMinute]

Haha! My pleasure. So happy they are helpful!!

[@janisvanvuuren8415]

I find the ACL’s so practical and helpful, in both practice and when supporting my own family members suffering from Alzheimer’s/dementia. Grateful for this refresher. Thanks Arno!

[@TheOTMinute]

My pleasure!

[@ceciliazepeda8988]

I will be your fan no. 1. Thank you for your content.

LOL that is great!

[@chimberly25]

Thank you, reviewing for the NBCOT

[@TheOTMinute]

Me too:)! Happy studying!

[@pattylee6124]

This is my first video watching your tutorial video. Love the explanation of ACL! Thank you! It would help a neurodivergent learner like me if you would set up the closed captioning option.

[@TheOTMinute]

Thanks for letting me know they aren't working! I have to figure out why CC works on some of my videos and not on others. I will see if I can figure it out:)

[@gakwererevictory7266]

thanks, it is such informative content

[@TheOTMinute]

Thank you! I’m so glad to hear that.

[@ClaudiaGarcia-bw2gf]

I like how simple but goal-directed your videos are, makes it them easy to understand. I would like case scenarios such as if a client is doing XXXX we can assume this patient is at a cognitive level of ***** so the best intervention would be *** but awesome videos I'm preparing for my exam so this is very helpful.

[@TheOTMinute]

Thanks for watching and for your feedback. Case studies are a great idea!:)

[@andisams7829]

Thank you so much for the visuals. I’m studying for my finals (OTA). are the visuals available as a print out (pdf?) somewhere? Thinking I might cruise Pinterest for more reenforcement. :D

[@TheOTMinute]

I am so glad this was helpful! Sorry unfortunately I don't have the visuals available as PDFs for printing at this time. I may eventually provide those in some manner but I don't have that built out yet. Pinterest is great for additional visuals. I hope you find what you need:) ....and I hope you do awesome on your finals!!

[@all0fthedays]

Studying now, this is great. One small question, is it possible to enable KZbin CC on your videos? Not sure how that works or if it's a big ask going forward. Hope you're almost finished/finished now!

[@arnovanvuuren5637]

Great question! I thought they were added but I see I just have missed something. I’ll see if I can update it by the end of the day. Thanks for asking!!

[@TheOTMinute]

So I looked into it a bit more. It looks like CC has generated on most of my videos except 2 and I am not sure why it hasn't on this one. I reset some setting which I hope fixes it! If not I may need to add it manually if time allows. Thanks again!

[@all0fthedays]

@@TheOTMinute Thanks so much for the update, I watched some more of the videos and the CC does work for those. This one still doesn't work, but it's ok! Your chart was very helpful. Great channel :)

[@Dmplz88]

This is great! thank you for this. Question. Do you have your slides as a printable/shareable version. If not, are you able to?

[@TheOTMinute]

Hey Candace, sorry for the delayed response...unfortunately I don't at this time but I hope to have a way to provide it in the future.

[@t.c.5456]

THanks!

[@TheOTMinute]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!!

[@sherjeelrmalik]

AMAZING VIDEO, YOU ARE THE BEST! I WISH YOU WERE MY TEACHER

[@TheOTMinute]

That is a very kind compliment! Happy studying:)

[@angieadams1877]

Help. I need resource on how to score the placemat test. I have the workbook but can’t find my sheets on how to score the placemat results. Do you have resource I can reach out to for these

[@bacardistuff8108]

anybody know where to buy the diagnostic module canvas placemats?

[@WDBsirLocksight]

Sounds like a great conceptualization yet being too gross it seems it wouldn't capture autistic functioning, ADHD or memory functioning in the background. Level 4 matches the most. Allen Cognitive Levels kinda like the InterRAI for Home Care. The questions of norming on the right population, what instruments are used for a given setting (eg, Home Care keys on admitting into LTC) and whether the assessment is used post-injury thus no baseline present. All of this doesn't transfer well to ppl with concussion/Cognitive, Developmental and/mental health. These instruments below miss adaptive behaviour Scales which might be covered by some categories across the clinical scales mentioned here. In some cases use would need scrutinization as in "Resource Allocation" in which interRAI covers areas of Home Care, Long Term Care, MH or ID: a) Utilization Groups-III and Home Care (RUG-III/HC; b) Resource Utilization Groups-III (RUG-III); c) System for Classification of In-Patient Psychiatry (SCIPP); and d) Case-Mix Groups for Developmental Disability (CMGDD) respectively respectively. In my local region there was a recall on a specific tool called the "Supports Intensities Scale by NADD" even though the assessment was thorough, presented ethical issues about the dimensions of life it talked about in the 3hr interview, as well as the unintended Resource Allocation issues that would've reduced hours of support for ppl with ID/DD. Clinical Scales of the interRAI covering Physical Function as ADL Hierarchy, ADL Long & Short Form Scales, Functional Hierarchy Scale, Instrumental ADL (IADL) Capacity Hierarchy Scale, IADL Performance and Capacity Scales ; in Cognitive Function the Cognitive Performance Scale; in Social Function including Communication Scale, Social Engagement; in Mood & Behavior the Aggressive Behavior Scale, Depression Rating Scale, Depression Severity Index, Mania Scale, Positive Symptoms Scale, Risk of Harm to Others, Severity of Self-Harm Scale, Self-Care Index, Social Withdrawal Scale; and in Health Status, Falls Risk Scale, Fracture Risk Scale and Pain Scale.
