Prompts for Occupational Therapists: Practical AI Skills

This course teaches you how to use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for everyday occupational therapy tasks. You will practice prompts for teaching, planning, adapting, documenting, monitoring, troubleshooting, and collaborating.

Lessons are short and built around real examples. You can try each prompt with your own de-identified notes and adjust the wording to match your style.

  1. The lessons
    1. Teaching Adaptive Techniques: Use AI to create clear, step-by-step guides and explanations for teaching clients new ways to do daily tasks.
    2. Drafting Therapy Plans And Goals: Use AI to generate structured, measurable therapy goals and activity plans tailored to a client's condition.
    3. Adapting Activities And Environments: Use AI to brainstorm adaptive strategies and home modifications for daily living and safety.
    4. Documenting Treatment Sessions: Use AI to draft clinical documentation from your rough notes, saving time while keeping the record accurate.
    5. Monitoring Progress And Adjusting Plans: Use AI to analyze progress data, spot trends, and suggest adjustments to therapy plans.
    6. Troubleshooting And Equipment Solutions: Use AI to troubleshoot equipment problems and find alternative tools for clients.
    7. Collaborating With Caregivers And Team: Use AI to prepare clear communication and training materials for caregivers and colleagues.
  2. What the Course Covers

    The course walks through seven prompt lessons, one for each common task in occupational therapy. You will see examples for teaching adaptive techniques, drafting plans, adapting activities, documenting sessions, monitoring progress, troubleshooting equipment, and collaborating with caregivers.

    Each lesson gives you a prompt you can copy, a short explanation of why it works, and a way to adjust it for your client or setting.

  3. How the Lessons Connect

    The lessons follow the flow of your work. You start by teaching a client a new way to do a task, then plan goals, adapt the environment, document the session, and review progress.

    Later lessons help you solve equipment problems and share clear information with caregivers and colleagues. You can take them in order or jump to the task you need today.

  4. How to Use Prompts Well

    Good prompts include the client's age, condition, goal, setting, and any limits like low vision or a small apartment. Add the tone you want, such as simple words for a caregiver handout.

    Always read the draft as a therapist. Change the wording, remove anything that does not fit, and check that every step is safe for that person.

  5. Who This Course Is For

    This course is for occupational therapists in clinics, schools, hospitals, home health, and community settings. It is also useful for therapy assistants and students who support occupational therapy work.

    You do not need any AI experience. You only need a willingness to try a few prompts and see how they fit your day.

  6. Safety and Privacy at Work

    Never put names, addresses, birth dates, or other identifying details into a public AI tool. Use de-identified summaries and follow your employer's policy and your professional rules.

    AI can help you write, but it cannot give clinical advice or make decisions for you. Keep your reasoning, your license, and your client's safety first.

  7. Your Next Step

    Pick one lesson from this course and try it with a task you have this week. Start with documentation or a caregiver handout if you want a quick win.

    After you practice a few prompts, choose a video course from the learning path to go deeper. Then keep the prompts that save you time and share them with your team.
