Synopsis
Accountability, full engagement of clients in their treatment, emphasis on quality of life, and movement away from inpatient care have all contributed to significant changes in how occupational therapists and other health care providers view the evaluation process and the methods by which they evaluate. This comprehensive book discusses assessment selection, intervention planning, non-standardized testing, scoring, reliability and validity, special populations, ethics, and evidence-based practice.
