Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of a series of online, module-based instructional reusable learning objects
(RLOs) targeted at entry-level, 1st year, Master of Occupational Therapy students. The content of the RLOs addressed knowledge and
implementation of A SECRET, a parental reasoning approach for children with a sensory processing disorder, specifically sensory
over responsiveness. Nine RLOs were developed and embedded within a commonly used learning management system. Participants
(𝑛=8) were evaluated regarding their ability to discriminate between appropriate and inappropriate A SECRET strategies using a
selected-response assessment. The participants’ overall average score was 68%, a positive finding given the novelty of the instruction,
assessment, and the content
