Q

WHAT ARE SOME TECHNIQUES FOR A PRODUCTIVE ASSESSMENT INTERVIEW

A

 Be prepared – have interview schedule ready; be very familiar with contents and sequence

 Wear appropriate clothing – taking in to account what is appropriate for client / setting (lower intimidation factor)

 Establish rapport – create a warm, accepting climate (body language, tone of voice etc.); break the ice with some light natured conversation at the beginning

 Use a vocabulary on the level of awareness and understanding of the person – avoid jargon and abstract words and phrases

 Be precise in what you say, so the meaning is understood – rephrase/clarify if not understood

 Allow time for the client to understand and respond

 Avoid asking leading questions (those that are designed to get only socially
acceptable answers or impose our biases on client)

 Use secondary/follow-up questions for clarification and for obtaining further information

 Be gentle and tactful when asking questions about home life or personal matters

 Be an attentive listener – using attending behaviours such as eye contact, posture,
gestures, encouragers etc.

 Carefully observe nonverbal messages for signs of anxiety, frustration, anger etc – allow for expression of feelings

 Allow spontaneity – pick up on verbal leads, cues, bits of seemingly unrelated information by using secondary questions (but be observant of overall timing)

 Keep data obtained in interview confidential – share only with the appropriate and necessary team members

 Declare the completion of a purpose or task: “We’re finished what we needed to do today”

 Make personal inquiries: “Will you be able to get back to your room by yourself?”

 Signal the time is up: “I see we’re just about out of time for this session”

 Explain the reason for the close: “This gives me the preliminary information I need to develop an intervention plan for you to look at”

 Explain appreciation or satisfaction: “You’ve provided me with a lot of valuable information today”

 Exhibit concern for welfare and future: “I’m sure we’ll be able to get you involved in programs and services that will help you with the concerns you’ve identified”

 Plan for the next meeting: “We’re scheduled for next Thursday at 1:00 in the dining room”

 Summarize the interview: “You seem to enjoy more physical activities, but feel hindered by your disability. Our plan will include working together to adapt some former activities for you as well as learn new ones”

Q

WHAT ARE SOME GUIDELINES FOR OBSERVING AND ASSESSING FUNCTIONAL SKILLS AND ABILITIES

A

 Determine what skills and abilities you want to assess and to what extent (e.g. if you work on a team with a physiotherapist, that individual may be responsible for gathering detailed information about the physical functioning of clients; you may not need to gather that information or may need to gather limited information on that domain; or if you work in a mental health setting, the functioning areas you may be interested in gathering the most information about may be in the emotional and/or social domains)

 Select, develop, or modify appropriate observational assessment instrument (if developing your own, it’s a time-consuming process to come up with an effective tool!)
 Fully understand instructions, rating scale and procedures associated with tool

 When learning to use a tool, multiple observers may be used and scores compared
to check for inter-rater reliability; discuss inconsistencies; try again

 Follow agency procedures regarding informed consent for conducting
observations

 Select appropriate activities to observe client participating in (use activity analysis
logic, along with what you know about the interests of the client, and the nature of
the tool you are using)

 Observe in multiple activities, if possible, to observe full range of skills e.g. group
activity; 1:1 activity; activities that utilize a variety of dominant domains e.g.
physical, cognitive, social, emotional

 Determine if you will perform the role of activity facilitator, participant, observer
or all of the above

 Use naturalistic settings as much as possible (i.e. the type of environment the
activity would traditionally be performed in); or make the environment as
comfortable as possible

 Stay as open-minded as possible, ignoring what you anticipate you will find, and
focusing on what actually occurs

 Employ cultural sensitivity following observations (e.g. there may be cultural
reasons why individuals behave in a particular way); explore these findings with
the client after the fact

 Use effective observational techniques to get the most accurate results:
o Be as unobtrusive as possible during observations, taking only as many notes as necessary at the time to record skills and behaviours
o Conduct observation in as undistracting an environment as possible
o If not facilitating the activity, remain as physically distant from observee
as possible; minimize observer interference in the situation
o Avoid actions or comments that may influence client’s behaviour
o Observe after a rapport is developed
o Complete assessment form as soon as possible after the completion of the
activity so important information is not forgotten
