develop and offer an education program aimed at preventing Type II Diabetes or reducing risk factors to reduce the worsening of the condition

Directions:
You are consulting with a community organization that provides health care services for adults. They have seen an increase in the number of adults with Type II Diabetes, so they are planning to develop and offer an education program aimed at preventing Type II Diabetes or reducing risk factors to reduce the worsening of the condition.
For your initial discussion post:
1. Write the narrative for a short presentation that helps the organization’s program committee to understand the reasons for taking the time to conduct a needs assessment prior to developing and offering the program.
2. Explain your role, which may utilize your OT skills while functioning as a community consultant. Write this portion in such a way that various stakeholders (community member/clients, administrators, funders, etc.) who do not know about OT or OTs role in the community organization may understand the information.
