Process Test 2

The OT gathers information about the client and

identifies past experiences and interests that may assist in the understanding of current issues and problems

How to respond to information shared in a interview

Paraphrasing, responding to content, responding to affect

Step 1: Evaluation part 1

occupational profile/interview

Step 1: Evaluation part 2

analysis of occupation (assessment/observation)

Step 1: Evaluation part 3

Synthesis of Evaluation

Step 2: Intervention part 1

Intervention plan

Step 2: Intervention part 2

Intervention implementation

Step 2: Intervention part 3

Intervention Review

Step 3: Outcomes

Measured Progress

Non-standardized

observed behavior, therapist determines what to look at and how to gauge performance, qualitative data

Standardized

protocols for administration and scoring, breaking protocols will invalidate scores, loss of comprehensive picture of client 

activity analysis

looks at the typical demands of an activity, the range of skills involved in its performance

occupational analysis

places the person in the foreground, attends to the actual body functions, structures, etc of the individual

synthesis of evaluation process

consolidates/review data collected, identify supports and barrier to occupational performance, write goals

Approach to Intervention: Create/Promote

creating experiences and enriching contexts to enhance occupational performance

Approach to Intervention: Establish/Restore

Development of new skills or reediation/restoration or impaired skills or abilities

Approach to Intervention: Maintain

preserving performance capacities, assuming that performance would decline without intervention

Approach to Intervention: Modify

revising the context or activity through adaptation or compensatory techniques

Approach to Intervention: Prevent

Prevention of occupational performance problems/barriers for people with/without a diability

Create/Promote

• does not assume a disability is present

• used to foster enriched environments, routines, or opportunities that promote engagement in meaningful occupations

Establish/Restore

• build a new skill or ability that didn’t exist before.

• rebuild or strengthen a skill that was lost or damaged due to injury, illness, or life change

Maintain

• The assumption is that without continued maintenance intervention, performance would decrease and occupational needs would not be met

Prevent

• For clients at risk of occupational performance problems

• Interventions may be directed at client or context

systematic reviews and meta anaylses

comprehensive summaries of multiple research studies

Randomized controlled trials

experimental studies with random assignment

Cohort studies

observational studies that follow a group over time to examine assoicatations between exposure/interventions and outcomes

case control studies

observational studies that compare people with a specific condition to those without to identify potential risk factors or prior exposure

cross sectional

studies that collect data from participants at a single point in time to describe characteristics, prevalence, or relationships 

case reports

detailed description of a single client or a small group receiving a specific intervention
