The purpose of this study was to analyze whether patients with a TBI or stroke perceived that they reached their occupational therapy goals related to their activities of daily living measured by the COPM. The study found that those who were involved in setting goals and received a client centered OT care plan had higher rates of perceived performance and satisfaction with daily tasks. The use of the COPM when creating individual care plans is helpful not only for the OT, but also for the patient so they feel that they are an advocate for themselves and a member of their recovery process.
