The Perceive, Recall, Plan & Perform (PRPP) Assessment is part of the PRPP System of Task Analysis– an interactive system of assessment and intervention that is based on task analysis methodology.  The PRPP Assessment is a standardised,  person-centred, criterion-referenced, occupational therapy assessment of occupational performance.  It is used with clients of any age, gender, diagnosis, or cultural background whose performance is compromised by difficulties in meeting the cognitive demands of occupations and contexts. The assessment yields information about performance mastery and cognitive strategy application.  Strategy application is assessed by scoring behaviours that align with dimensions of attention and perception (Perceive), learning, memory and recall (Recall), planning, decision-making and judgment (Plan), and the capacity to act on decisions and follow-through with plans (Perform). The PRPP Assessment is used internationally, and has been translated into several languages. It has established validity in a variety of practice domains including neurology, mental health, learning disabilities, autism, chronic pain, HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, and dementia.  Acceptable reliability has been demonstrated following training.

OBJECTIVES:  Participants will be able to
1. Describe the occupational therapy, neurosciences and educational foundation of the assessment, and its psychometric properties.
2. Assess and score task performance mastery from videotaped examples using Stage One of the PRPP Assessment.
3. Assess and score cognitive strategy application behaviours demonstrated during task performance using Stage Two of the PRPP Assessment.
4. Write specific, measurable occupational performance mastery and strategy application goals for clients assessed.
5. Use the PRPP Assessment as a person-specific occupational performance outcome measure.
6. Begin to use assessment findings to determine a focus for occupational therapy intervention.

PRESENTERS:  This course will be taught by Dr. Chris Chapparo and Dr. Judy Ranka. Both presenters are occupational therapists, researchers and educators with extensive national and international teaching experience.  Assistance may be provided for some sessions by other members of the International PRPP Instructors group.
