What is an observational assessment?
Provide ecologically valid information about occupational performance.
Descriptions of the elements of the activity.
Client, parent, and other caregivers may be interviewed.

Theoretical perspective
Guides observation
Prioritizes elements of observation
Client-focused activity analysis and observations….
Identify factors involved in occupational performance.
Understand personal occupational meaning or its absence.
Determine performance skills.
Clarify occupational barriers and supports.
How do you implement activity analysis with intervention?
General activity analysis (Box 6-5)
Client-focused activity analysis (Box 6-6)
Performance observations with client-centered activity analysis (Box 6-7)
How do you build skill in activity observation and analysis?
Practice
Observe others
Watch videos of oneself and others
Attend to details
Discuss with colleagues
Use structured forms
What is activity synthesis in intervention??????
Synthesizing results from activity analyses and observations guides intervention planning.
Data from multiple structured activity analyses may be helpful for developing treatment protocols.
Analyze barriers and strengths.
What is activity synthesis for selection and design?????/
Target specific activity or occupation.
Use clinical reasoning.
Select treatment activities to match client’s goals and interests.
Select and craft activities that occupationally relevant.
What are modifications?
To address barriers
Commercially available
Created for child
Modify steps, materials, demands, and personal meanings
What is grading?
Make portions of the activity easier or more difficulty based on the client’s performance.
Create a bridge or scaffolding to higher levels of performance.
Train client to participate in new activities or at a higher level of activity, to target client factors and to develop performance skills.
