Abstract
This chapter focuses on occupational performance analysis and provides guidance on how to perform this core skill. Occupational performance analysis is defined and described in the context of the doing of a task. A distinction is made between task analysis, activity analysis and occupational performance analysis. Individual performance skills (motor, process and social interaction) are defined and described. A rationale for the use of occupational performance analysis is provided and the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), 2014) is used to define and apply occupation terminology. Occupation is explored from five broad perspectives: occupations, client factors, performance skills, performance patterns, and contexts and environments. Occupational performance analysis is described and applied within a top-down (person-focused) approach. The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) and the Evaluation of Social Interaction (ESI) are used in the context of a practice story as the basis for the application of occupational performance analysis for people with disabilities. Occupational performance analysis is explored through the process of assessment in the practice story. How information from this assessment process is used for intervention planning and re-evaluation is also discussed.
