Patrick, your sixth-grade student, has met his sensory processing goals. He is also progressing toward his handwriting and typing goals, but could use a little more work on these skills. What do you recommend to your OT department?
  1. Keep working with Patrick twice per week to accomplish his writing and typing goals.
  2. Decrease Patrick’s frequency to once per week to address writing and typing.
  3. Decrease Patrick’s frequency to consultation once per month, and allow Patrick to work on writing and typing in his classroom.
  4. Dismiss Patrick from OT, as writing and typing will improve on their own.
Explanation
Answer: B. You recommend to your OT department to decrease Patrick’s frequency to once per week. Patrick has made enough progress that he has partially met his goals and does not require the treatment frequency of twice per week. But he has not yet met his writing and typing goals and needs to continue to work on these skills. There are not as many skills to address, so the frequency can be decreased to once per week.
