As an Occupational Therapist Assistant, you'll have situations where a patient wasn't improving. Tell the interviewer what steps you would take. Walk the interviewer through the documentation you would make, the plan change you would discuss with the Therapist and the conversation you would have with the patient.

"If I noticed a patient wasn't progressing as planned I would work with the Occupational Therapist to come up with a new plan. I would present it to the patient on their next visit by highlighting the milestones they had met and show where progression had stopped. I would be sure to keep encouraging the patient and confirming that sometimes we hit walls with therapy and change is common."
