General activity analysis
➢Steps
➢Materials
➢Context
➢Activity demands
➢Possible meanings
Client-focused activity analysis
➢Personal way in which activity is performed
➢Unique features of how client does activity
Observational Assessment
●Provide ecologically valid information about occupational performance.
●Descriptions of the elements of the activity.
●Client, parent, and other caregivers may be interviewed.
●Repeated observations in natural contexts.
Interactive Relationship With Frame of Reference
●Theoretical perspective
●Guides observation
●Prioritizes elements of observation
Assessment Through Activity Observation and Analysis
●Identify factors involved in occupational performance.
●Understand personal occupational meaning or its absence.
●Determine performance skills.
●Clarify occupational barriers and supports.
Implementing Activity Analysis With Observations
●General activity analysis (Box 6-5)
●Client-focused activity analysis (Box 6-6)
●Performance observations with client-centered activity analysis (Box 6-7)
Building Skill in Activity Observation and Analysis
●Practice
●Observe others
●Watch videos of oneself and others
●Attend to details
●Discuss with colleagues
●Use structured forms
Activity Synthesis and 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.
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.
Modifications?
●To address barriers
●Commercially available
●Created for child
●Modify steps, materials, demands, and personal meanings
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.
Ongoing Activity Analysis and Synthesis
●Dynamic interaction between assessment and intervention process
●Revise as child progresses
