Student Learning Opportunities with Rebuilding Together 1

Background Information

The Purpose of this Packet

In this packet, occupational therapy educational programs and affiliates of Rebuilding Together will find all

they need to establish an agreement between their programs. The packet provides the basic information

that Rebuilding Together affiliates and occupational therapy educational programs will need to model a

service learning project or their Level I fieldwork agreements in a way that will meet their program needs.

About the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA)

AOTA is the national professional association established in 1917 to represent the interests and concerns of

occupational therapy practitioners and students of occupational therapy and to improve the quality of

occupational therapy services. AOTA’s 50,000-plus members reside in all 50 states, the District of Columbia,

Puerto Rico, and internationally. AOTA’s major programs and activities are directed toward assuring the

quality of occupational therapy services, improving consumer access to health care services, and promoting

the professional development of members. AOTA educates the public and advances the profession by

providing resources, setting standards, and serving as an advocate to improve health care. AOTA is based in

Bethesda, Maryland.

Mission Statement

The American Occupational Therapy Association advances the quality, availability, use, and support of

occupational therapy through standard-setting, advocacy, education, and research on behalf of its

members and the public.

Vision Statement

AOTA advances occupational therapy as the preeminent profession in promoting the health, productivity,

and quality of life of individuals and society through the therapeutic application of occupation.

Centennial Vision

We envision that occupational therapy is a powerful, widely recognized, science-driven, and evidence-

based profession with a globally connected and diverse workforce meeting society's occupational needs.

Definition of Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy practitioners ask, "What matters to you?" not, "What's the matter with you?"

In its simplest terms, occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants help people across the

lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday

activities (occupations).

Age-related health problems or disabilities in general can have a sudden onset, such as with a stroke or an

accident, or a gradual onset such as with progressive diseases like arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or diabetes.

By introducing innovative techniques and equipment, occupational therapy can show these individuals how

to perform daily self-care, leisure, and work activities more independently. Safety is another concern that


occupational therapy addresses. An individual’s risk for falls, especially in the home environment, can be

dramatically reduced through occupational therapy intervention.

Occupational therapy services may include comprehensive evaluations of the client’s home and other

environments (e.g., workplace, school), recommendations for adaptive equipment and training in its use,

and guidance and education for family members and caregivers. Occupational therapy practitioners have a

holistic perspective, in which the focus is on adapting the environment to fit the person, and the person is

an integral part of the therapy team.

About Rebuilding Together

Rebuilding Together is a nonprofit housing organization that provides free critical repairs and renovations

for low-income homeowners across the United States. Rebuilding Together’s National Office represents

more than 170 independent, grassroots nonprofit housing organizations across the United States. Each

year, nearly 10,000 homes and nonprofit facilities are rehabilitated with the help of more than 100,000

volunteers. Rebuilding Together understands that a home is more than just four walls. Rebuilding Together

takes a unique whole-house approach to home restoration, addressing both structural issues and repairs

that support the well-being of those who live there. These quality-of-life repairs enable the homeowners to

remain in their homes longer and more safely. Many of the homeowners want to age in place, but their

home may not be accessible or have the assistive devices they need to get around. Rebuilding Together

volunteers may install hand railings, better lighting, non-skid strips in bathtubs, grab bars, wheelchair

ramps, and more that will ease homeowners’ difficult daily activities.

In addition to National Rebuilding Day in April, affiliates work year round in 1,800 American towns and

cities, delivering emergency services, critical home modifications, and green building to conserve energy

and consumption.

Vision Statement

A safe and healthy home for every person.

Mission Statement

Bringing volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income homeowners.

Why Collaboration Between AOTA and Rebuilding Together?

Occupational therapy is a health care profession that is dedicated to helping individuals gain the skills

needed to participate more fully and independently in activities that are meaningful to them. Rebuilding

Together is committed to assisting older homeowners to age in place in a safe manner. Occupational

therapy practitioners can help facilitate this goal. This is a great partnership as occupational therapists bring

knowledge and expertise about the aging process to the house and homeowner assessment. Rather than

just looking at the house from a repairs needed perspective, an occupational therapist is able to assist the

Rebuilding Together House Captain to determine what modifications and assistive devices the homeowner

might need now or in the near future.


Value of Student Learning Opportunities With Rebuilding Together

Occupational therapy students are the future practitioners. The opportunity for students to be involved

with Rebuilding Together will allow them to have exposure to a community-based organization. It will allow

them to put to use their new-found knowledge in aging, disability, home assessments, and home

modifications. It will provide them with real life, hands-on experience in an emerging practice area while

developing clinical reasoning skills. Course content in activity/task analysis, assessment, or the basic

components of assessment can prepare students to participate in educational opportunities with

Rebuilding Together. Students who act as volunteers on April Rebuilding Day can also benefit by

understanding how environments enable occupational performance.

Success Stories

”Rebuilding Together has a sense of mission and social justice and it is an important

thing for students to see. This is also an opportunity for students to see and understand

how their community may be living on the edge of poverty.”

Noralyn Pickens, PhD, OT

Associate Professor at Texas Woman’s University at Dallas

Rebuilding Together Greater Dallas

Noralyn Pickens, PhD, OT, an associate professor at Texas Woman’s University at Dallas, recommends that

occupational therapy programs build a relationship with the local Rebuilding Together affiliate board

members so they can broaden the role of occupational

therapy within the organization. Rebuilding Together

is open to schools working with them because of the

skills and expertise of the faculty. It’s a win-win

situation for both. Students are able to see what a

nonprofit organization does and the role that

occupational therapy students and practitioners can

serve in community-based settings. Enthusiasm is also

seen in the faculty members because they can apply their clinical skills and mentor future practitioners.

Pickens believes that Rebuilding Together can expand students’ perspective of becoming involved in their

community for the greater good of society. ”Rebuilding Together has a sense of mission and social justice

and it is an important thing for students to see,” she says. “This is also an opportunity for students to see

and understand how their community may be living on the edge of poverty.”

Rebuilding Together Richmond

Nicole Williams, MS, OTR/L, is the occupational therapy coordinator for Rebuilding Together Richmond and

since 2001 has been a member of the home modifications program. Williams organizes completion of all of

the assessments, averaging 50 homes a year, including smaller projects called Partner Builds. Williams, a

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) alumnus, collaborates with program chair Al Copolillo, PhD,


Virginia Commonwealth University faculty members and students participating in Rebuilding Together’s orientation

OTR/L, and assistant professor Jody Teitelman,

PhD, OTR/L, to integrate students. Each February,

first- and second-year occupational therapy VCU

students are recruited to assist local practitioners

with the evaluation process. In addition, first- and

second-year physical therapy students participate

in the event. Students collect the general

information, and after assessing functional status

and environmental barriers, determine what the

homeowner may benefit from by using a checklist.

“This community service is consistent with the school’s vision and the push for community engagement,

interprofessional collaboration, and enhancing civic responsibility. What could be better than Rebuilding

Together?” states Teitelman. From Williams’ perspective, each student is looking at the person in a way

that is complementary. The occupational therapy student learns how the person functions within the

environment and the physical therapy student begins to appreciate the environmental factors affecting a

person’s mobility. Each can benefit the homeowner, which is the end goal. Williams states, “The feedback

from students after they volunteer is very positive as it gives [them] an opportunity to apply what they

learn in the classroom (e.g., skills, observations, and interviews). It’s an Aha moment! The homeowners are

especially gracious that they are there. The word spreads and everyone has a good time.”

“A group of students found a slip-resistant spray

product that Rebuilding Together was unaware of and

now uses in various homes for increasing bathtub

surface traction.”

Toby Hamilton, PhD, OTR/L

Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center

“I can talk about environmental barriers, but to actually

go in and see the client’s environment is very different.

It’s a very eye opening experience for the students and

it helps them integrate what they have learned in the

classroom about safety, accessibility, and the

environment.”

Community-Based Service Learning & Level I Fieldwork Experiences

Establishing a service learning experience or a Level I fieldwork with Rebuilding Together will expose

students to health in the context of community. The goals of Rebuilding Together mesh very nicely with

occupational therapy. Both bring unique abilities and skills to this setting and are committed to keeping

individuals functioning in their community. This is an excellent opportunity for occupational therapy

students to think “outside of the box” and see how they can interact and collaborate with individuals who

do not have a medical background. This will also facilitate behavior that is entrepreneurial.

In recent years, there has been a renewed emphasis in the occupational therapy profession to return to

community-based settings. Many believe this could be a major area for future employment, particularly

with the aging population. With the move to entry-level postbaccalaureate degrees, many occupational

therapists have increased confidence to assume community-based therapist roles.

Suggested Student Roles 1. Prior to home repair days, perform home safety assessments (under the supervision of a professor).

Interview homeowners, evaluate needs for home safety, and make recommendations to house

captains that will improve the safety and independence of the homeowner and residents.

a. Recommendations may need to be pre-approved by a faculty member and/or house

captain.

b. Recommendations should be in collaboration with the homeowners so they are in

agreement with any potential changes.

2. This is not a patient treatment model. Observation of the homeowner’s routines and

demonstration of alternate methods is acceptable; hands-on intervention is not.

3. Provide the Safe at Home Checklist to homeowners and review the materials with them.

4. Assist in the home repair days (generally the last weekend in April), making final recommendations

or assisting with the home safety recommendations such as placement of grab bars, removal of

tripping hazards, etc.

5. Redesign or create forms or brochures related to the program that would be helpful to target

audiences. This should be coordinated with the specific Rebuilding Together affiliate. These could

include:

a. Flyers to encourage qualified homeowners to apply to the program.

b. Materials to assist house captains in addressing home safety needs or when to utilize an

occupational therapist (or occupational therapy student) to identify and make

recommendations about home safety.

c. Checklists or tip sheets for homeowners about home safety.

6. Promotional information or articles to encourage occupational therapists and occupational therapy

assistants to volunteer their skills.

7. Provide presentations to community groups about simple modifications that can make a home

safer so residents who are elderly or have disabilities can continue to live in their homes with

greater independence and safety. Let the audience know how Rebuilding Together and future

occupational therapy professionals are working together to provide information and expertise to

http://rebuildingtogether.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/RT-Aging-in-Place-Safe-at-Home-Checklist.pdf


make needed repairs, especially those that promote safety, to homeowners who need assistance

and qualify for the program.

Additional Options for Involvement

1. Community Service Project (OT club; not necessarily part of a class or a required assignment)

a. Volunteer on Rebuilding Together work days

b. Fundraise to sponsor a house

2. Grant-Funded Projects

a. Occupational therapy faculty may write grants to pay for occupational therapists to

supervise students or collect data

b. Funds may also provide equipment that Rebuilding Together cannot cover (such as shower

chairs, long-handled shower head, toilet risers, etc.)

c. Students may write grants for Rebuilding Together as a course requirement

d. Students could gather follow-up data for a research project

3. Connect with Local Agencies and Organizations

a. Area Agencies on Aging

b. Technology centers

c. Durable medical equipment suppliers

d. Vendors and loan closets

e. Home care agencies

f. Social support services

Sample Learning Objectives for Occupational Therapy Students

Objectives of service learning projects/Level I fieldwork may vary significantly from one academic

institution to another. These variations occur as a result of differences in individual academic institutional

missions, programmatic philosophical base, curriculum design and resources, etc. As a result, the individual

academic institutions should provide information regarding the specific didactic relationship and should

provide objectives for the experience. Fieldwork educators should determine if the resources of their

facilities are adequate to meet the objectives of the educational institution, and then apply the objectives

to the fieldwork setting.

1. Students will identify and review appropriate resources about home modification, accessibility, falls

prevention, and other related topics to prepare for this service learning/Level I fieldwork

experience.

2. Students will identify and submit a short summary of a minimum of two alternate home

modification assessments containing the purpose, description, interpretation, reliability, and

validity. Students will, individually or in pairs, interview a minimum of XX homeowners or residents

to identify needs related to safety and independence in the home.

3. Students will provide house captains with a list of suggested recommendations to enhance

homeowner safety and independence. Suggestions should include specific information on

placement of grab bars and railings, if appropriate.

4. Students will review the Home Safety Checklist or related materials with a minimum of XX

homeowners or family members.

http://rebuildingtogether.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/RT-Aging-in-Place-Safe-at-Home-Checklist.pdf


5. Students will identify an additional role for students or occupational therapy professionals within

the Rebuilding Together program and make recommendations to strengthen and improve their

service learning/Level I fieldwork experience.

6. Where possible, students will review the use of adaptive equipment or other modifications with the

homeowners after the equipment has been installed or changes have been made.

7. Student will complete XX reflective journals to monitor development of professional behaviors and

skills.

Supervision

Since service learning projects are part of the academic curriculum, it is advised that the lecturing faculty

member have a strong presence to foster critical thinking skills, communication skills, and cultural

competence in a community-based setting. Under these circumstances, the syllabi are developed to

incorporate the service learning experience into the teaching and learning objectives of the course. While

Rebuilding Together staff members or volunteers can provide supervision, the faculty member is ultimately

responsible for linking the course content, service learning project, and student growth in the course

through discussions, journal entries, presentations, or assignments.

In contrast, a community-based Level 1 fieldwork is generally a time to develop professional behaviors and

for observation (e.g., identify the mission and philosophy of the community setting, determine the roles

and responsibilities of service providers, investigate funding resources, compare and contrast community

service models with traditional medical services, and evaluate intervention outcomes). Students

participating in a Level I fieldwork may be supervised by occupational therapists from their educational

program, other occupational therapists from the community, or staff/volunteers from the local affiliate of

Rebuilding Together. During a Level I fieldwork experience, the supervision does not need to be provided by

an occupational therapist. Who provides the supervision will be decided between the local affiliate and the

occupational therapy educational program. Supervisors can include but are not limited to occupational

therapists and occupational therapy assistants, psychologists, physician assistants, teachers, social workers,

nurses, and physical therapists. However, if the students are assuming roles beyond observation (such as

providing home assessments) an appropriate level of supervision by an occupational therapist must be

provided.

In addition, the school and local affiliate need to agree on the amount and type of supervision that will be

provided. This can vary depending on the tasks being performed and the competency of the students

participating in the fieldwork. For further details, please refer to the current ACOTE Standards and

Interpretive Guide.

The Professional Behavior Competence Document is a tool that can be used to evaluate student

performance. This fieldwork evaluation is a suggestion only. Schools should use whatever evaluation they

deem appropriate for this experience; however, if no evaluation is available or schools are exploring

evaluation options, this is a tool to consider.
