Analysis of Occupational Performance
The client’s assets and limitations or potential problems are more specifically determined through assessment tools designed to analyze, measure, and inquire about factors that support or hinder occupational performance
Analysis of Occupational Performance
Determined by the information gathered through the occupational profile
Analysis of Occupational Performance
The occupational therapist synthesizes the information gathered through the occupational profile and analysis of occupational performance
Synthesis of the Evaluation Process
The occupational therapist uses the synthesis and summary of information from the evaluation and established targeted outcomes to guide the intervention process
Synthesis of the Evaluation Process
