This article discusses the COPM in relation to the CMOP - the model from which it was designed. It examines issues associated with application of the COPM in targeted clinical and non-clinical situations. The paper suggests considerations required to ensure that the highest quality of information is derived from the COPM in all situations. Although the paper emphasizes the centrality of the client-centred approach, it also demonstrates the flexibility and adaptability of the COPM to different situations, clients, settings and purposes. The paper also discusses cultural considerations when using a client centred approach, particularly in relation to peoples comfort with making such decisions.

Although a small study, draws on AMPS and COPM The aim of this paper was to investigate the effectiveness of client-centred occupational therapy using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS). Both the COPM and the AMPS change scores demonstrated statistically significant improvement (p < 0.01) in occupational performance. Significant correlations were found between COPM - Performance and AMPS - Motor skills (r(s) = 0.64, p < 0.05), and COPM - Satisfaction and AMPS - Process skills (r(s) = 0.62, p < 0.05) in a group positive towards client-centred occupational therapy. The COPM was a valuable tool in guiding and measuring the client-centred occupational therapy for children with developmental disabilities.

This article discusses and compares the use of COPM, GAS, PEGS and PACS as OM for paed practice. It has a very helpful graph which shows the use of each over the past 20 years. It discusses the positives of using each, and how they vary in their 'individual' and 'client centred' goal setting, particularly discussing WHO is setting the goals. The article makes a relevant point about the difference between individualised OM and client centred OM.

This articles discusses the use of the COPM and GAS for planning, documenting and measuring progress in client-centered goals in a short term community based rehab. It discusses the effectiveness of using both tools to ensure covering broader goals (COPM) and the GAS for breaking it down into appropriate size goals to show progress.

This article is helpful for relating ICF to OT and the use of ICF when looking at outcomes. "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)."

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

This article discusses some of the unique aspects of the Dutch COPM The Dutch Canadian Occupational Perfor- mance Measure (COPM) is a valid measure of a client's self-perception of occupational performance in the areas of self-care, pro- ductivity and leisure. . The COPM provides information that can- not be obtained with current standardized instruments.

This article discusses 'divergent' and 'convergent' validity - terms I had not come across before. The study rates the COPM as being unique in taking into account the person's experience of the impact of their perceived health on their quality of life. It discusses the COPM a tool that allows recording of the difficulty at the activity level, impairment level, spiritual level and environmental level.

The purpose of this paper is to review six individualized outcome measures that have been identified in the rehabilitation and psychology literature. The measures include: the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills, McMaster (MAC) Toronto Arthritis, Goal Attainment Scaling, Target Complaints and the Patient Specific Functional Scale. The reliability, validity, responsiveness and clinical utility of each outcome measure was examined and critiqued. Each tool, to a varying degree, met the description of a standardized, client-centred outcome measure. Members of NZAOT can access this journal.
