In this scenario, students will have the opportunity to learn, practice and perform occupational analysis and synthesis in a safe environment. This is a digital (online) simulation using a controlled, reproducible scenario.

Students observe a client with Korsakoff syndrome performing a daily activity: preparing soup. Prior to the observation, students review the ICF model and formulate a clear observation goal based on the provided case information. They complete the ICF with the available data and practice the task (soup preparation) at home, breaking it down into sub-steps through a pre-execution task analysis.
In this scenario, students prepare by reviewing the ICF framework and the theory behind reimbursement for home modifications. During the class, students work in groups of four to analyze a case, identify the occupational therapy question, and examine 360-degree videos and a floor plan to collaboratively develop a plan. In the second phase, each group presents their plan to the others. As a final assignment, students write a professional report to the team with the necessary home modifications and therapy goals.

The Writing Readiness Inventory Tool In Context (WRITIC) assessment is an occupation-based tool designed to evaluate handwriting readiness in 5- to 6-year-old kindergarten children. It is intended for use during the pre-writing phase, particularly with children for whom teachers have concerns about handwriting development. It is recommended to administer the WRITIC assessment approximately 5 to 6 months before the start of formal handwriting instruction.

The simulation provides an opportunity to learn, practise and perform a structured consultation for room adaptation in an inpatient environment, while providing verbal instructions to the responsible nurse on how to adapt the room of a patient who suffered a stroke two days ago and is currently experiencing motor and visual neglect, as well as severe left-sided hemiplegia.

The aim of simulation is to carry out a diagnostic interview with the DASH assessment in order to gain a detailed insight into the impairments in everyday life. The simulation’s goal is to fill out the DASH while asking the client verbally since the client can’t fill out the assessment by himself/herself due to limitations of the hand.

This scenario is intended to be delivered as an in-situ simulation experience in a neurorehabilitation hospital or clinic (client’s bedroom or occupational therapy space). The simulated participant is portrayed by a trained volunteer, such as an occupational therapy practitioner.

In this scenario, students will prepare and practice conducting an initial occupational interview with a client using the COPM tool.
This is an on-campus (classroom) simulation using a controlled, reproducible scenario.
The learning scenario applies a role play modality, where students working in small groups participate in the scenario in the roles of the therapist, client or observer. It takes place in the context of on-campus practical classes.
