Occupational therapists need individualized tools to assess client function. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) offers a client-centered approach to evaluating performance and goal achievement.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational therapy
  • Rehabilitation sciences
  • Client-centered practice

Background:

  • Occupational therapists require assessment tools sensitive to individual client needs, abilities, and environmental/social contexts.
  • Traditional assessments may not adequately capture the unique performance factors influencing clients.
  • Client-centered approaches, focusing on goal setting and change assessment, are crucial for effective occupational therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a client-centered assessment methodology.
  • To introduce the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) as an individualized evaluation tool.
  • To detail the conceptual model, administration, and scoring of the COPM.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a client-centered assessment methodology.
