#1 charisseblinder on 30 Jul 15This web source explains why clinical reasoning is the backbone of our profession and how to strengthen this skill while completing our fieldwork rotations. The first tip is to try seeing our clients as a story in order to formulate short-term and long-term goals. We should determine what characters are a part of the client's story and what outcomes we predict happening during our client's story.The next tip is to use pre-assessment image, cue acquisition, hypotheses generation, cue interpretation, hypothesis evaluation, and OT diagnosis to guide clinical reasoning. The last tip is to ask these two important questions when we plan something for a client: what will I do and WHY am I doing it? The authors also reassure us that clinical reasoning is a learning process, much like riding a bike. It is not something that can be mastered at one time, but requires us to perform trial and error throughout our professional careers.
