Initiative Title | Updating Computer Technology in OTA Lab |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2004/2005/2006 |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Present computer equipment utilized in the OTA Lab is seriously outdated. It is not possible to operate current state of the art computerized learning programs. These programs are therapeutic interventions utilized in OT practice areas to assist clients in developing skills and abilities to function independently. Students are not prepared to utilize the equipment/programs that are being utilized in rehab facilities in which they complete the 4th semester of fulltime fieldwork Additonally, the OTA National Certification Exam is now administered solely via computer access. With outdated equipment that does not support certification study guides, it is not possible to assist students as fully as posible in prepartion for this exam. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Non-compliance with OTA educational standards that require remaining current and up to date with therapeutic interventions could result in accreditation issues. Students may not be fully prepared for the National Certification Exam. This could result in loss of SUNY Orange's OTA Programs high ranking (90th percentile nationally). |
