The state Department of Rehabilitation refers many clients to OT for help with the transition from school to work. What would be an appropriate goal for a student with paraplegia who wants to be a teacher?
A. Increase upper extremity strength to within normal limits
B. Independence with using a computer and a projector to put lessons on the board.
C. Independent with all dressing skills
D. Any goal made collaboratively with the student, rehabilitation counselor, and the OT practitioner
ANS: D
Although (B) looks as if it would be correct, the correct answer is (D) because of the following statement: "Two or more team members gather together to write the goals and work collabora-tively with the student to accomplish the goals." The key words are "collaboration with the stu-dent," because ultimately that is who will complete the goal.
