In this scenario, students will have the opportunity to learn about the protocol for conducting a standardised occupational therapy assessment for the evaluation of performance component(s) (e.g. cognitive function, visual-perceptual skills….). Students will learn about test administration, scoring and interpretation.
This simulation experience is focused on assessment methodology, and therefore can be used for the practice of these skills with any standardized test used in occupational therapy assessment of performance components (e.g. RBMT, RPAB, LOTCA, BADS, …)
This is a digital (online) simulation using a controlled, reproducible scenario.
Students gain experience in observing and analysing the client’s performance and scoring the test by observing client’s performance on a video.
In this simulation, students will interact with a standardized patient portraying Maria, a 70-year-old woman recovering from hip surgery while managing COPD. Students will explore ways to help her carry out daily activities more easily and safely at home, with a particular focus on self-care in the bathroom (variations possible). They will formulate practical occupational therapy recommendations to enhance her comfort, independence, and participation in meaningful daily tasks.

This scenario provides a simulation for video-based simulation and/or role play. This scenarios is designed as hybrid scenario which can be applied as video based simulation (online) or role-play (online and/or on-site).
Scenario contains information about a client who undergone a total hip replacement surgery. Clients lives in nursing home and needs information about precations and intervention for assistive device use. There is one video contains general mobility of the client, learners are expected to create and intervention plan for assistive and adaptive device training for mobility and dressing.

This simulation-based learning scenario aims to enhance students’ skills in observing, analyzing, and critically evaluating occupational therapy (OT) interventions for children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) within a therapy room setting.
Students will observe a pre-recorded video of an OT conducting a one-on-one session with a child in a culturally relevant pediatric therapy environment. The video demonstrates developmentally appropriate and contextually grounded strategies designed to improve the child’s attention, support emotional regulation, and manage hyperactive behaviors.
Learners are expected to engage in critical reflection on both the therapeutic techniques used and the environmental and socio-cultural factors that influence occupational performance.
This simulation focuses on assessing cognitive functions in a patient with stroke using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) within a telerehabilitation setting. Designed for intermediate to advanced occupational therapy students, it allows learners to practice conducting cognitive assessments remotely, interpret findings, and communicate results professionally and empathetically. Students take on the role of an occupational therapist, working with a standardized patient in real time, and must navigate ethical, technical, and clinical reasoning challenges throughout the session.

This simulation scenario focuses on planning and implementing an occupational therapy (OT) intervention for an individual diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. It aims to enhance students’ clinical reasoning, practical skills, and ability to provide person-centered care in a highly authentic and structured learning environment.
Students will observe the patient’s transfer activities, plan and apply appropriate transfer techniques, and recommend assistive devices. The scenario is designed for in-clinic implementation with standardized patients. However, it can also be conducted using role-play with senior students, depending on available resources and institutional context.
This scenario contents a assesment of a patient with parkinson’s disease for OT and COPM.
The scenario includes expected learning outcomes, scenario flow with expected actions and all details regarding simulation scenario.
