This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 38.75 contact hours. Course Description are : The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) is used to measure how well a client performs familiar activities of daily living (ADL). The AMPS can be used with any client, regardless of diagnosis or age, as long as the client is at least the developmental age of 2 years and is familiar with performing some ADL tasks.

The AMPS measures represent how well the client performs ADL tasks, in terms of physical effort, efficiency, safety, and independence. These measures take into consideration the difficulty of the tasks the client performed and the unique scoring severity of the occupational therapist administering the AMPS. The occupational therapist can use a client's AMPS measures to plan the occupation-based and occupation-focused intervention, develop occupation-focused goals, and write occupation-focused documentation. AMPS measures can also be used as outcome measures providing evidence that a client's occupational performance changed. Using this innovative assessment tool will expand your practice by helping you deliver more occupation-centered services. Course Objectives are : Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to: * Understand the theoretical foundation for using the assessment tool to promote occupation centered and client-centered practice. * Administer, score, and interpret the assessment tool in a valid and reliable manner. * Use assessment results to plan occupational therapy interventions. * Interpret the results of a follow-up assessment to analyze the effectiveness of interventions. * Integrate the assess
