Zoe

Zoe is a seventeen year old, high school student who has Autism Spectrum Disorder. She is non-verbal and uses an Autism Spectrum Disorder communication device to communicate her wants and needs. She does not seek out her peers or adults unless she needs something. She will use her communication device when prompted. One of her objectives is to use her communication device independently to make a request of another person. Zoe has difficulty completing multi-step activities. She has several job duties at school, including filling the printers and copiers with paper and working in the school store. She often skips steps in filling the copier or printer with paper. For instance, she does not organize the work area with supplies and will forget to close the copier and printer paper drawers. Her work objective is that Zoe will complete all steps in filling the printers and copiers with paper.

QUESTION: Choose one of the two objectives listed above in Zoe’s case study. Answer all THREE of the following questions by describing how you will teach one of the two objectives.

1. Describe how you will prompt Zoe to learn the skill.

2. How will you fade your prompts to promote more independence for Zoe?

3. Describe how you will provide reinforcement for Zoe as she learns the new skill so she can become more independent.

Identify a community health-related knowledge deficit.-what questions would you ask; if it is a quiz,

Develop a Community-focused Teaching Project that takes 15-20 minutes to present and 10 minutes to assess outcomes (30 minutes total). Be sure teaching materials are attractive and at a lay person/community level, and that your resources are from reputable healthcare sources. Be sure your presentation demonstrates your advocacy for your community audience’s health. Consider diversity and how this topic may impact under-represented groups.

Identify a community health-related knowledge deficit.

Educate yourself on the issue related to this knowledge deficit. Talk with someone in the community about the needs related to this deficit and include their name and role as a citation in your text (not in references). Consider community outcomes as a result of the knowledge deficit. Contemplate on what results you would like to see from your audience when you present this teaching project.

Write 3-5 learning objectives (Slide 2)

Include the url as a citation for each pictures/graphic. For content, place citation(s) at bottom of slide (not on each row) You may use a smaller font size for the url’s and citations.

Research the topic and include at least 3 professional patient resources (organizations such as American Heart Assn, American Cancer Society, Mayo Clinic, etc.). Also include at least 3 references on the last slide and be sure there are matching citations (at the bottom of the slides) for each reference – these may be the same but need to be listed on separate pages. Don’t forget hanging indents for your references.

Develop a power point of up to 20 slides, making the 1st slide the title (which should include the title and your identified audience), 2nd slide the objectives, and the last 1-2 slides references. Font should be 18-24 and leave white space on each slide so it is easy to read – be sure your font is consistent throughout the presentation. A general rule is 1 slide per minute of narration. Consider teamwork, collaboration, and diversity as a way to promote population health for the presentation topic.

Complete sentences are not necessary

All information does not have to be on the slide because you talk while showing the slides. You may add your talking information in the footer section below the main content if it isn’t on the main slide.

Use black ink on a plain white background. Do not use fancy fonts as they are difficult to read, and shadow text prevents from assessing your presentation. Use upper and lower case.

Include pictures for interest – they must be cited with the url on each slide or in the box below the slide even if you have a license to use the graphics. About 8 pictures should be included.

Remember your references need hanging indents. How to format hanging indents in power point. (Links to an external site.)

Consider how you can assess what your audience learned and develop that assessment tool. For example: if it is teach-back, what questions would you ask; if it is a quiz, write the quiz and include it with your presentation. Be sure the assessment tool evaluates what you wanted the community to learn as written in your learning objectives.
