Tell me about a time you tailored an activity for a patient.

Your patients may have a wide variety of needs. Some will be more complex than others! Demonstrate that you are flexible to meet the needs of your patients. For example, you might have a patient dealing with a lifelong disability, like cerebral palsy. They may want you to help them improve their quality of life, but they don't necessarily know how. When you discuss how you assessed the patient, share how you took into account their interests and their physical strengths and weaknesses. You want to express that you meet each patient where they are, challenging them and encouraging them in each activity. You may have chosen to start with arts and crafts, to get to know the patient and see what they are able to do. Share from your experience!
