Product Description
As the profession of occupational therapy continues to mature and expand its practice, the measurement of occupational performance is one of the key avenues that all practicing clinicians will need to explore and master. A complex subject for the new and practicing occupational therapist, each step in the evaluation process from assessment to interpretation to intervention is critical. Having one solid, evidence-based textbook to teach and guide in the measurement process is welcome.
With an emphasis on the context of current best practice, Measuring Occupational Performance: Supporting Best Practice in Occupational Therapy rises to meet this challenge in an updated and expanded second edition.
Three of the professions most recognized and leading professionals, Drs. Mary Law, Carolyn M. Baum, and Winnie Dunn, have joined together to bring their expertise in assessing occupational performance to the pages of the second edition of Measuring Occupational Performance. With a more focused approach on evidence based rehabilitation and accountability, the student will be guided throughout their educational career by learning to identify the best approach for outcome measurement.
New to the second edition:
- A new focus that accounts for the profession's shift to evidence based rehabilitation and occupation.
- Updated and restructured measures that allow this to be the only resource needed for measuring occupational performance.
- Streamlined tables for easy access to information and are now located at the conclusion of each chapter.
- An added chapter on participation measures.
- New appendices that list measures by author and test name allow for easy navigation through an array of topics, including conducting assessments, interpreting measurement information, and strategies for using assessment information.
- The addition of an Instructor's Manual containing case scenarios, activities, and assignment ideas for the classroom.
Measuring Occupational Performance, Second Edition provides easily accessible, up-to-date information for all occupational performance measures, including a systematic, detailed focus on measures important for evidence-based occupational therapy. Measurement issues and practices are discussed, and a decision-making framework is provided to guide the choice of assessment tools. This timely work helps to simplify a complex subject, and is a must-have for both occupational therapy students and practitioners.

Reviews
"The authors intended this second edition book ‘to be a tool for the student occupational therapist and the practicing therapist as they strive to organize and classify their occupational therapy experiences to best serve their clients’. An excellent job has been done of meeting that goal . . . The book is well written, well organized and easy to read. I recommend it as an excellent resource for new and experienced occupational therapists as well as for educators, health care administrators and policy writers."
— Phyllis Straathof, Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy
Reviews from previous edition:
"Its greatest strength is that the authors have successfully explained complex, material and the theoretical process involved in the easily understood manner. I highly recommend this book not only to occupational therapy students, occupational therapy practitioners, and occupational therapy educators but also to evidence-based practitioners, occupational performance researchers, and health care policy consultants."
— Rekha Chhatre, Revue Canadienne D’Ergotherapie
"This is an excellent reference book for clinicians, academics, and students."
— Janet Fricke, Australian Occupational Therapy Journal
"This book should be a welcome resource to practitioners because it so well integrates occupational performance measurement and best practice in occupational therapy."
— Jeffrey L. Crabtree, MS, OTD, OTR, FAOTA, Occupational Therapy in Health Care
"This timely book fills a critical need in occupational therapy education and practice. The authors succeed in making the complex subject of measurement of occupational performance practical and digestible to all. It will be a valuable addition to the library of any student, educator, or practitioner."
— Meryl M. Picard, MSW, OTR, Doody Publishing
