Write the following two sections of work:

A. Select the 3 best pieces of evidence you have gathered, make them available to your lecturer, label which aspects of capability/capabilities each exemplifies and describe why this is a good piece of evidence (800 words).

B. Write and submit 850 word report that provides your analysis and reflections about the process of self-assessment that you have undertaken and analyse the evidence you have gathered. This section relates to the pre and post skills and capabilities audit students completed as well as an overall view of the evidence collected.

Some questions you may wish to consider are listed below:

• Based on your completed audit tool, how accurate were your pre-activity ratings? Were there any areas where you over or under estimated your abilities? Why do you think you might have over or under estimated your abilities? OR Why do you think your ratings were accurate?

• How can you improve the accuracy of your self-assessment?

• What kinds of evidence did you gather? Why influenced your decision to gather these particular kinds of evidence? Looking back are there any other kinds of evidence that might help demonstrate your abilities?

• What kinds of evidence might you need to persuade an employer that you have particular skills and capabilities? How could you present these?

• Were some kinds of skills and capabilities easier to find evidence for than others? Which ones and why?

• Were there any unexpected outcomes? Did you improve markedly in a capability that you did not anticipate?

Assessment Task 4: Service Evaluation Proposal

Step one: choose either Scenario A or B, or devise your own, based on fieldwork experience, or other work you undertake.
Step Two: What do you already know?
Scenario A: the service consists of an inpatient and outpatient mulitdisciplinary rehab program for children who have had major trauma. You are the OT, and have been asked to demonstrate how you know your part of the program is worthwhile. How will you do this?
Well, you know that you provide OT intervention and this will be aimed at certain goals – around occupational performance. It is likely you assess the children using an occupational performance measure/s – this could include ADL assessments, COPM, FIM for instance. You need to then consider, could the individual outcomes then be analysed, say over a 12 month period to demonstrate effectiveness of the service? For the purpose of this task, I would say yes, and you will choose one or more of these assessments that you have heard/learnt about.
Scenario B: this is an adult service for people who have experienced neurological trauma and is an intensive service for people living in the community.
For this service, you know that the OT intervention will be aimed at certain goals, and these are likely to relate to outcomes you might expect after an acute hospital stay – managing at home, in the community, maybe return to work, driving – a range of skills, you can determine how broad the program is for the evaluation.
Your plan for evaluation:
1. In both scenarios, you are looking for evaluation of improvement in function/occupational performance.
2. What is required on admission to set the baseline? Outline the measure/s.
3. What will be required at the interval that you set to be the end mark? Most likely to be the same as the initial assessment.
4. Are there any other measures you think are relevant – Client satisfaction with the program, for example?
5. How will you compile the data for comparison?
6. Describe the assessment, why you have chosen it, and how it is appropriate for your service.
7. Type or data – will it be statistics, qualitative data or a mix?
8. The evaluation question will be a reflection of the service, as described, and what you think you want to ‘prove’ to the manager/s.
9. The communication will be what you think relevant – a written report is usually essential, and some other approaches to ‘sell’ your message – like a broader version of you modifications poster presentation.
10. Reflection: not just ‘I learnt this ….’, but also if/how you see the value of evaluation that extends beyond the individual assessments you are likely to be doing anyway. Why do you think it important to be aware of methods to explain the effectiveness of OT programs? Not as another essay in itself, but more from your personal learning perspective.
