The ICF Model: A Case Study of Ben
Ben’s videos include great therapist interaction and modeling of therapeutic alliance. He shows some frustration at times which is important for students to problem-solve. Ben’s medical history is complicated and so an excellent case to introduce or reinforce systems review principles. He has many personal factors and environmental factors that students can connect to parts of the ICF model template. Ben’s young age and prior level of function are salient to the students and grab their attention.
