This is a reflective post on an assignment we did in our foundations class a few weeks ago. The assignment was to choose and activity and then break it down into steps in order to look at demands of each individual task involved in the performance of the activity. We had learned in class that you need to be aware of several things as you do an activity analysis: the sequence and timing of the activity, the objects, space, and social demands needed to complete it, and the required body functions, body structures, and performance skills. I choose to do my activity analysis on baking cookies, and let me tell you... even though you would think that baking cookies is a simple activity, its not. By the end of my activity analysis I had broken the whole process down to 37 steps. Then I had to really think about how different tasks might be harder for some individuals accomplish, especially with a disability. I really had to be creative in thinking of new ways to do an otherwise normal task so that the activity of baking cookies could be done by anyone. Although this project took a lot of time and effort, it was a good picture into what we as OT's do. We take things that are hard to do and make them doable and accessible to anyone and everyone. With some creativity, and a little bit of TLC, anyone can make homemade chocolate chip cookies!
