Course Project: Role Play Exercise and Comprehensive Clinical Rehabilitation Report (Submitted to LiveText) - Week 13

This is a 2-part assignment. Therefore, you are encouraged not to wait until the end of the term to complete the assignment.

Part 1 – Role-Plays

The first part of this assignment will require students to video record two (2) 45 minute role-plays demonstrating your skills for conducting assessment sessions with a “client”who may be a volunteer who is a family member or friend willing to assist in the role-play.Volunteers must be made aware that this is a role-play and is being video recorded for the purposes of your course assignment and will be viewed by your instructor. This experience will help you to develop your style of conducting assessment sessions. As a counselor, you must maintain confidentiality for all sessions. The video recordings must be uploaded to LiveText.
