# Evaluation Assessments

* PLOF & major concerns and pressing needs
* Environmental context the eval is completed
* Environmental context of the client current and expected environment
* Temporal contexts of the client and their condition/disability
* Eval tool compatibility within the FOR to help guide intervetnion planning
26

# OT Principle
Occupations and activities act as a therapeutic change agent to *remediate/restore*
People have the potential to improve performance skills, patterns (habits/rituals/routines), and bod fxn
## Footnote
ex. A homemaker who has impairments and probs in motor skills resulting from a stroke benefits more from working in the actual occupation of preparing meals in conjunction with exercises to increase her ROM, muscle strength, and coordination as opposed to solely using exercise equip. And objects stimulating the motor actions of the activity
43
Assessments are administered according to their protocols, which are?
* Standard precautions must be observed during all evals
* An interpreter must be used when there is a language barrier
* results are scored/rated according to guidelines/protocols
* info gathered is used to identify strengths and weaknesses in occupational performance and participation
44

* Assessment findings, interpretation, and recommendations are effectively communicated to team members and meaningfully contribute to an inter-disciplinary intervention plan
45

* The assessment doesn no hinder the fiar and equitable distribution of OT services to all persons in a setting needing OT services
