Module 4

Documentation, Goals, and Educational Relevance

~22 min · 10 slides

Presenter cues

  • Have participants rewrite one of their own present-level statements live during this module.
  • Insist on numbers plus conditions in every sentence: what, how much, under what demand, over what time.
  • Note that documentation and billing requirements vary by state and payer — verify locally.

Answer key

Which level does this pattern implicate, and which levels must you clear first?
Endurance decay with place loss and a passed acuity screen points to Level 2 (visual efficiency). Clear Level 1 first by confirming acuity and contrast at the measured working distance with habitual correction worn, and rule out validity threats (fatigue, time of day, attention) before naming Level 2.
Write the present-level statement in one sentence, with numbers.
Model: "During near copying at 40 cm, [student] maintained 92% accuracy for the first 3 minutes and declined to 58% by minute 9, with 7 place-loss events, limiting completion of written classwork within the allotted time."
Write one annual goal that a reviewer would call educationally relevant.
Model: "By [date], during a 10-minute near copying task at 40 cm, [student] will maintain at least 85% copy accuracy with no more than 2 place-loss events in 3 of 4 consecutive data sessions, as measured by OT probe using the baseline task." The occupation, the condition, the number, the criterion, and the measure are all present.

Watch-outs

  • Goals written as protocols ("will complete pencil push-ups 3x/week") are out of scope and not educationally relevant. Goals live at the occupation.
