The community client assignment was developed and first utilized in the Fall 2015 in the OC TH 6140 course. Dr. Heidi Woolley, who I co-teach the course with, was an integral part of the assignment's success, as she coordinated the partnership between students and supervising therapists. Dr. Woolley and I strongly felt that students' clinical reasoning abilities, implementation of evidence-based practice, documentation skills, and sense of confidence would benefit from treating real pediatric clients in a clinical or school-based setting. Students are paired with a "community client" and, under the supervision of an occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant, devise and implement weekly treatment sessions to help the client achieve their individualized goals. There are still some changes that need to be made to improve this assignment, mostly in regards to making scheduling more smooth, but the response from students has been overwhelmingly positive as it allows them an opportunity to apply knowledge from the classroom to direct patient interactions in real time.
