Assignment: Complete an observation of our client Leora. As she is a child be sure to consider development positions, stages and terminology. Include the following in your observation: Cognition,  Posture, Balance, UE & LE PROM/AROM and strength, Coordination, Grasp/Pinch and Sensation. Do not use audio during the observation and make sure closed captioning is turned off. Your video is recorded and honorlock can detect this. Leora is a 3 year 5 month year old child who had been diagnosed with Left brachial plexus injury.  Please provide a comprehensive yet succinct observation summary for her as she participates in OT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7umR9sPUqs&t=9sLinks to an external site.    You will have 90 minutes to complete this observation.   Assignment Submission: The assignment will be completed individually.  You will submit your outline electronically We are teaching you the art of observation and picking up subtle differences is an important skill. This is different than true occupational therapy evaluation where we might focus more on the function.    This client is also very different from other clients we have observed.  Don’t stress about where to put things or what to call them. Just observe and tell us what you see. We don’t expect you to be perfect we just want good observations based on anatomy and kinesiologic principles!
