Q
  • it matters
  • characteristics
  • helps with occupational engagement
  • in line with OT models (CMOP-E, PEO)
  • embedded in OT competencies (C3.6)
  • In line with current best practice
A

Why we assess the environment

98
Q
  • Environment is one of the 3 core constructs
  • OT’s are interested in aspects of the environment and how they relate to occupation
  • Assessments of the physical, institutional, cultural environment is a role of an OT because it related to a persons occupational engagement
A

Using CMOP-E to assess environment

99
Q
  • The greater the overlap, the more optimal the occupational performance will be
  • by changing the environment, there is more overlap which leads to better occupational performance

Assessment of motor and process skills

107
Q

Standardized evaluation of ADLS

It is unique because it is standardized

A

AMPS

108
Q
  1. OT performs an interview and learns what tasks the client wants to priotrize
  2. The OT observes the client doing at least 2 of the tasks and evaluates the quality of the task performed
  3. OT scores the quality of the observed tasks performance using criteria from the manual
  4. OT enters scores into computer software and generates report
A

AMPS process

109
Q
  • we are attending to occupational performance skills
A

What are looking at when using AMPS

110
Q

the smallest units of observable goal directed actions that are linked together one by one in the process of building a task performance

A

Occupational performance skills

111
Q

what are the 2 categories of AMPS

A
  1. ADL motor skills
  2. ADL process skills
112
Q

Goal-directed task action observed when the person:
- Moves around the task environment
- Interacts with and moves task objects

A

ADL motor skills

113
Q

Goal-directed task action observed when the person
- Selects, interactions and, uses a task tool or material
- carries out individual actions and steps of the task in a spatial-temporally effective manner
- prevents task performance problems from reoccurring by finding another way

Adaption is very important

A

ADL process skills

114
Q

4= competent performance
3= questionable performance
2= ineffective performance
1= unacceptable performance

A

AMPS scoring criteria

115
Q
  1. Severity of the OT
    - The OT must be training to administer
  2. Adjusts for the challenges of the task that the person did
  3. Difficulty of the item or specific motor or processing Skills
    - All people are more likely to get lower scores on harder tasks
A

AMPS software adjusts the persons score for 3 things
