Where? The client is currently in an acute rehabilitation hospital. Where are you planning on

performing this treatment session within the rehabilitation hospital (Examples: patient’s room,

therapy gym, cafeteria, therapy garden)? Describe the environment. How will you set up your

space to meet the safety needs of the client? What will you focus on to ensure engagement?

The treatment session for Jenny will be conducted in her patient room within the

rehabilitation hospital, where the environment will be thoughtfully organized to cater to Jenny’s

unique needs. The room setup will prioritize safety, accessibility, and a comfortable atmosphere

whereby meeting safety needs, clearing pathways will be maintained to accommodate mobility

aids, and adaptive equipment will be strategically positioned. The bed height and positioning will

be adjusted to facilitate easy transfers, optimize visibility, and ensure engagement, the room will

be well-lit, and potential distractions will be minimized. The therapist will personalize the space,

incorporating familiar items from Jenny’s personal belongings to create a familiar and

comforting atmosphere as visual aids and prompts related to the treatment activities will be

For a 30-minute occupation-based treatment session, Jenny will be comfortably

positioned in her wheelchair near a well-lit table within her room while the therapist will sit

facing Jenny, maintaining eye level for effective communication. Utilizing visual aids and

prompts, the therapist will guide Jenny through purposeful activities, such as organizing a

weekly schedule; in this case, adaptive equipment, including a tabletop easel and writing

materials, will support Jenny’s active participation. I will use clear verbal cues, encouraging

Jenny to express her preferences and make decisions throughout the session to enhance and

provide positive reinforcement and feedback. The treatment session will be explained to Jenny at

the beginning, ensuring she understands the activities, goals, and potential benefits, enabling the

therapist to guide the session effectively while promoting Jenny’s active involvement and goal

attainment.
