The Perceive: Recall: Plan and Perform System (PRPP) is a process-oriented, criterion referenced assessment that employs task analysis methods to determine problems with cognitive information processing component function during routine, task or subtask performance. The PRPP System is for use with adults and children who have difficulty performing daily or episodic tasks. It is suitable for adults and children of either sex and from any cultural background. The time taken to administer the PRPP System varies with the severity of information processing difficulty and the complexity of tasks assessed. A tester familiar with the PRPP System and the client can complete the assessment of one person on four or five tasks in most cases in one to two hours

"The application of ICF has proved to be helpful to occupational therapists in identifying age-appropriate roles and reflects the person's independence and well-being (44,96). ICF facilitates increased precision in recording and monitoring different health condi- tions (72,97-99), e.g. the field of rehabilitation coun- selling, vocational assessment, and job placement (100,101). It is similar to many OT models in devel- oping tasks and activities for clients and recognizing the interaction between person and environment (80,92,102)."
