The Perceive, Recall, Plan & Perform Intervention is designed for use by occupational therapists who have completed a PRPP Assessment course. The intervention approach aims to improve occupational performance mastery by addressing the specific cognitive strategy application behaviours identified through PRPP assessment as most impacting on mastery. Instructional methods used to address these behaviours incorporate cues and prompts that align with specific perceive, recall, plan and perform processing operations and preferences. The efficacy of this approach has been observed in children and adults with a variety of diagnoses and conditions that impact on everyday cognition, and demonstrated through research with adults with traumatic brain impairment and children with social and behavioural difficulties.
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Compare and contrast PRPP Intervention with other forms of occupational therapy task training methods.
- Select critical strategy application behaviours to address in therapy.
- Set measurable occupational performance goals for task mastery and strategy application.
- Design a detailed plan to build strategy application behaviours required to improve or maintain performance mastery.
PRESENTERS:
This course will be taught in English by Dr. Chris Chapparo and Dr. Judy Ranka. Both presenters are occupational therapists, researchers and educators with extensive national and international teaching experience. Support for French speaking participants will be provided by members of the PRPP Quebec Instructors group.
