Overview and Purpose:

In a small group, you will prepare and deliver a professional presentation about legislation influencing occupational therapy and multidisciplinary team roles in work enablement. You will apply principles from legislation and occupational justice pertinent to selected contexts for enabling work participation practice as an occupational therapist. You will also gain knowledge from engaging with peer presentations. It is expected you will demonstrate effective and professional presentation skills, building on the skills you have already used in Year 1 & 2.

This assessment reflects common oral presentation formats for many professional conferences, in-service and training opportunities and contains the following parts:

Group Part A:

A 15-minute oral presentation using PowerPoint for a specific legislative and population context. You are provided with choices for the legislation and population context in Moodle to use for your group presentation. You will design a specific case scenario and apply an occupational therapy practice model to help you contextualise your explanations for the work enabling roles of the occupational therapist and team. You will use appropriate evidence to prepare the content of your presentation. As part of the professional presentation format, your group will facilitate a class discussion time for your student peers at the end of your oral presentation.

Individual Part B:

An individually prepared Annotated Bibliography of two key sources that you will provide to your peers as a handout in digital form. A verbal explanation of one source per student from your handout. Your personal professional verbal and nonverbal communication will be evaluated during the presentation.

Preparation for your Assessment task:

• You will be allocated to a group before term starts.
• Your group will complete a Moodle Choice activity listing the campus-based topic options for the population context and legislation that you will discuss in your presentation.
• Groups will select and save one Moodle Choice topic for your campus of enrolment, then that choice will be unavailable to other groups.
• In your group, you will independently explore professional literature and relevant legislation to identify factors that influence practice as an occupational therapist in your chosen legislative and population context.
• You will use professionally prepared PowerPoint slides to support your oral presentation and class discussion time.
• Prior to the class seminar, you will post in the OCCT13001 Moodle forum to share your individually prepared Annotated Bibliography with your peers.
• You will submit your group PowerPoint slides, Presentation Script and individual Annotated Bibliography to Moodle for marking before the due date.

Filenames for Submission

Each group must submit one copy of the PowerPoint, one copy of the Presentation Script and all individual student Annotated Bibliographies to Moodle. Name your Moodle file submissions as follows to expedite marking:

• Annotated Bibliography: FirstnameLastname_AB e.g. SueJones_AB
• PowerPoint slides: Campusgroupnumber_PP e.g. BDG1_PP
• Presentation script: Campusgroupnumber_PS e.g. BDG1_PS

Schedule of Presentation Topics:

The schedule for the presentation order is fixed by your group choice of legislative and population context. For example, the Bundaberg group that selects Moodle Choice 3 will present 3rd and so on. The draft and final Presentation Schedule will be available on Moodle.

See the task instruction document on Moodle for more details.

Use of GenAI for this task:

AI Level 2 (AI Planning): You may use AI for planning, idea development, and research. Your final submission should show how you have developed and refined these ideas. 

Word count:

Research has found that on average we can clearly present up to 150 spoken words per minute of presentation time, less if there are a lot of complex words of more than three syllables.

• Your group's prepared Presentation Script, including individual annotations, should therefore be approximately 2250-2500 words.
• Ensure that you orally present your information as concisely as possible while covering all key elements required. Allocate your time wisely according to the marks available for each element.
• It is suggested that presentation of each key professional literature source should take a maximum of 2 minutes or it will not fit into the total group presentation time available.

Overview and Purpose:

As occupational therapists, we can give advice regarding a client’s occupational performance needs for work. In this assignment you will address the needs of a client at Level 1 of the Return-to-Work Hierarchy who is likely to return to the same job with the same employer. You will highlight principles related to section 228 of the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 when discussing the obligations of the client’s employer. You will generate a realistic graded “Suitable Duties “plan for the worker observed during the in-class worksite evaluation.

Scenario:

You are the occupational therapist who has received the WorkCover referral for the university maintenance employee who has had a Grade 2 lower back strain from lifting heavy objects at work. The worker is keen to return to work in some capacity, however the supervisor has previously mentioned that he wants the worker to be fully fit before resuming work. You will need to explain the benefits of the “Suitable Duties” program and selected key points from the “Guideline for standard for rehabilitation” (2nd ed., 2023) to the supervisor so he agrees to participate. This will enable you to facilitate the worker’s return to work as a key part of an effective vocational rehabilitation program.

Your task:

You will document information in the "Job Analysis Template" after the workplace evaluation of one of the worker’s colleagues, to consider how to grade the usual work duties. You will interpret information from the workplace evaluation to help determine essential functional capacities for all usual work duties and to guide your recommended interventions. You will have access to additional information about the client from a written referral, the Oswestry Disability Index and Work Capacity Capabilities Form for the worker's job type.

Synthesising the information that you gather, you will develop tables for each of the four MOHO components: volition, habituation, performance capacity and the environment in the “Intervention planning template”. You will identify barriers and set goals for the client before developing an evidence-based range of work enabling interventions. Use in-text citations of references containing best practice evidence to support all your recommended interventions.

One of your intervention strategies will be to create a graded "Suitable Duties Plan" for your client using an industry standard template. You will discuss how this intervention will be negotiated with the worker, the supervisor and WorkCover Rehabilitation Counsellor and how it addresses principles from the “Guidelines for standard for rehabilitation”. You will provide a clearly documented schedule of hours and duties to gradually upgrade to all usual work duties over the 4-week period of the Suitable Duties Plan.

Using the Word document settings that are contained within the templates, submit the following files to Moodle:

• Job Analysis Template (available on Moodle, 600 words ±10%)
• Intervention Planning Template (available on Moodle, 2600 words ±10%)
• WorkCover Queensland Suitable Duties template (available on Moodle, 150 words ±10%)

Use of professional language and medicolegal writing style is expected for this report: see the task sheet on Moodle for more details.

Use of GenAI for this task:

AI Level 2 (AI Planning): You may use AI for planning, idea development, and research. Your final submission should show how you have developed and refined these ideas. 

Word count:

Overall, we expect this assignment will take 3350 words ±10% to complete as per the suggested word counts for each document. In real world practice, the time taken to prepare long wordy reports may not be fully funded. Efficient production of written reports to meet industry standards is a critical professional skill to master.

Overview and Purpose:

This assessment requires you to apply the work enabling skills and knowledge you have developed throughout this unit of study. Using a Generative AI tool, you will produce and edit a realistic Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) report for a case study client with a disability who needs support to find and/or maintain a job.

Scenario: 

You are the occupational therapist who has received a referral for a client from the NDIS support coordinator. You have been asked to develop a list of necessary supports to facilitate a work enabling plan for a participant in line with their current functional capacities. You know that producing a complex FCA report takes many hours, and you wish to use GenAI to streamline how long it takes to do your work. Your clinical supervisor has already created an FCA report template and a simple cover letter format using GenAI. 

You realise that GenAI can produce “hallucinations” or off target responses. You are prepared to update and edit the GenAI responses until the FCA report is of similar accuracy and quality that you would produce without GenAI. You reason that this will be a more efficient use of time.

Instructions

Creating the best prompts to the GenAI tool will require you to select from one of the case study choices in Moodle as your referred client. You will upload the report template and deidentified details from your chosen case study history to your selected GenAI tool. You will develop appropriate prompts and engineer pathways for the GenAI tool in order to ethically and confidentially develop basic content for all of the FCA report headings and section requirements. 

After your GenAI tool has produced a response, you will use the “Track Changes” feature in Microsoft Word to analyse the report content.  You will highlight parts of the report that require editing and put a brief comment about what needs to be improved and why.  You will then revise your prompts and pathways so that the GenAI output is a more appropriate FCA report and provide manual edits to the updated report where needed for accuracy and clarity. You will insert the client identifying details and any other confidential information after your final GenAI response has been generated to ensure ethical practice and confidentiality is maintained.

You will submit all GenAI prompts and responses including your “Track Changes” analysis comments. You will also submit the final edited version of the FCA report, which will be evaluated using the marking criteria. 

Filenames for submission:

Name your Moodle file submissions as follows to expedite marking:

• Gen AI prompts: FirstnameLastname_GP e.g. SueJones_GP
• Gen AI responses and Track changes comments: FirstnameLastname_Ix e.g. SueJones_GR
• Final FCA report: FirstnameLastname_FCA e.g. SueJones_FCA

GenAI tools permitted for this assessment:

• Level 3 (AI Collaboration): You may use AI to assist with specific tasks such as drafting text, refining and evaluating your work. You must critically evaluate and modify any AI-generated content you use.
• You are required to use the University subscription to Microsoft Copilot to complete this task.
• You may use editing and citation tools such as Grammarly and Perplexity to assist you to improve your work.

Word Count:

Please note that the word count for each section of the FCA report in the Task Instruction sheet on Moodle is a suggested maximum. Your GenAI tool may easily produce content well below the maximum word count. It is part of your professional learning to use your critical thinking skills at an intermediate level to analyse the GenAI response as part of your task performance. You will identify any gaps in the report content to decide whether the detail and number of words produced for each section is sufficient  to meet the marking criteria.

Please see Moodle for further details.

Marking Criteria:

The focus of marking for this task is the quality of the final FCA report, as expected in professional practice. The final FCA report represents the outcome of your professional and ethical use of GenAI to demonstrate capacity to meet the A3 task Learning Outcomes. Therefore most marks will be directed towards the final output.

See the A3 Marking Rubric for marks available for each section of the assignment. Your total marks out of 80 will be divided by 2 to calculate your Assessment 3 grade.
