Revising occupational performance through collaboration between after-school childcare workers and an occupational therapist: A case study on the effectiveness and usefulness of consultation using COPM and School AMPS

Abstract

This practical report of a consultation focused on occupation in after-school childcare using COPM and School AMPS. These outcome measures enabled after-school childcare workers to focus on the occupations expected of them in their cases and to make recommendations aimed at improving the occupational performance. The COPM and the School AMPS were used to provide recommendations aimed at improving the occupational performance of the case. As a result, the collaboration between the after-school childcare workers and the occupational therapist was strengthened, and the sharing of responses between these two groups led to an improvement in the execution of tasks in the case. Thus, consultations based on COPM and School AMPS may be effective in classroom environments.
