PRPP ASSESSMENT 2026 – External – Fill out form

AUDIENCE:   Qualified Occupational Therapists

The Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform System of Task Analysis (PRPP System) is one of the Occupational Performance Model (Australia) assessment and intervention models. It comprises an assessment (PRPP Assessment) and an intervention (PRPP Intervention). The PRPP System focuses on how people USE cognition to achieve occupational performance goals. It is applicable to people of all ages, from infancy to advanced age, irrespective of diagnosis, severity, chronicity or setting.

The Perceive, Recall, Plan & Perform Assessment (PRPP-A) is a criterion referenced, strengths based approach that is person centred, culturally responsive and evidence based. It is administered in two stages. Stage One Task Performance Mastery assesses occupational performance mastery; that is, how well occupations are performed. Stage Two Cognitive Strategy Application identifies reasons for task performance mistakes. An information processing model of cognition underpins the structure of Stage Two where processing operations have been operationalised as cognitive strategy use behaviours. These behaviours align with dimensions of attention and sensory processing (Perceive), learning and memory (Recall), planning, problem solving and self-appraisal (Plan), and initiation of responses and action monitoring (Perform). Stage Two yields information about effective and ineffective strategy application impacting occupational performance mastery.

The PRPP-A is used internationally, and has been translated into several languages. It has established validity in a variety of practice domains. 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 applied to tasks on dimensions of perceive, recall, plan and perform from videotaped examples using Stage Two of the PRPP Assessment.
4. Write specific, measurable mastery and strategy application goals from information gained through assessment.
5. Use the PRPP Assessment as a person centred outcome measure of occupational performance.
6. Relate findings from assessment to implications for intervention.

PRESENTERS:
This course will be co-taught by Associate Professor Chris Chapparo and Dr. Judy Ranka who are occupational therapists, researchers and educators with extensive national and international teaching experience.  Teaching assistance will be provided by members of PRPP International-Australia occupational therapists (Jacob Roll, Clare Griffin, Gabrielle Klymenko, Kathryn Au, Shereen Mouafi).

The Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform System of Task Analysis (PRPP System) is one of the Occupational Performance Model (Australia) assessment and intervention models. It comprises an assessment (PRPP Assessment) and an intervention (PRPP Intervention). The PRPP System focuses on how people USE cognition to achieve occupational performance goals. The PRPP System is applicable to people of all ages, from infancy to advanced age, irrespective of diagnosis, severity or chronicity.

The Perceive, Recall, Plan & Perform Intervention (PRPP-I) is designed for use by occupational therapists who have completed a PRPP Assessment course.  The intervention approach aims to improve task 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 everyday cognition, and demonstrated through research with adults with traumatic brain impairment and children with social and behavioural difficulties.

OBJECTIVES:  Participants will be able to:
1. Compare and contrast PRPP intervention with other forms of occupational therapy task training methods.
2. Select critical strategy application behaviours to address in therapy.
3. Set measurable occupational performance goals for task mastery and cognitive strategy application.
4. Design a detailed plan to build cognitive strategy application behaviours required to improve or maintain performance mastery.
5. Apply PRPP-I to people seen in their practice contexts.

PRESENTERS:
This course will be taught by Associate Professor Chris Chapparo and Dr. Judy Ranka who are occupational therapists, researchers and educators with extensive national and international teaching experience.

The PRPP-I (Intervention) focuses on improving occupational performance mastery by building on PRPP cognitive strategy application strengths while simultaneously addressing PRPP strategy application difficulties.  PRPP-I is grounded in principles of systematic instruction where cues and prompts are specific to perceive, recall, plan and perform needs.  A stop-attend-sense-think-do framework underpins the intervention.
