O: AM received occupational therapy services from OT students once a week for a total of 8 weeks. His
goals of self-feeding and transfers were addressed through the use of task specific training and other
functional and meaningful activities. AM met all of his self-feeding goals which included producing a
functional grasp, calibrating the utensil to mouth movement, and decreasing the amount of spilling
within a given feeding task. AM met his transfer goals of demonstrating improved endurance and
transferring in and out of a w/c with Min physical assistance and Min direct VC. He did not meet his goal
of demonstrating proper body positioning. A few weeks into the therapy, AM and his caregiver were
provided with an HEP addressing his feeding and transfer goals. During the last session, on 4/12/18, AM
required Mod direct VC and Min physical A to correct hand placement on utensil during feeding task.
While standing at a sink to wash dishes, he required Min physical A and Min direct VC to maintain
A: AM has made excellent progress. His self-feeding goals were met due to task-specific training during
sessions and caregiver implementation of the HEP. He met two transfer goals due to repetitively
practicing car transfers and sit to stand transfers during the sessions. Caregiver reinforcement of HEP
also facilitated the accomplishment of these goals. He was unable to meet his transfer goal of proper
body positioning due to AM missing several sessions, as well as an overall limited number of therapy
sessions. AM’s need for an increased amount of verbal cueing and physical assistance during the
feeding task in the last session was due to his fall, which strained his energy, as well as due to him
P: AM will be returning to participate in this student based therapy program next year. He and his
caregiver will continue implementing the HEP that was provided a few weeks prior to discharge. He will
continue practicing his functional grasp and calibrating his hand movement. Caregiver will enable him
to practice standing from his w/c during functional tasks in order to increase his endurance and body
awareness.
