The purpose of this study is to create a trial version of “Assessment Form for the Interaction of Daily Life Performance” (prototype) and to examine its logical and face validity. First, a prototype that focused on the causality of daily life performance was created. Second, ten experienced occupational therapists considered the contents of the prototype using the Nominal Group Technique and Delphi Method that were based on problem-solving/divergent-convergent facilitation. Finally, eighty healthy people used the revised version. As a result, the main subjects, methods, evaluation viewpoints, and the interpretation of results were revised until a consensus was reached. Furthermore, the trial version was completed. This assessment form could be used for occupational therapy because it deepens the qualitative evaluation of living conditions and ways of thinking, analyzes daily life with a bird’s-eye view using an interaction matrix, and promotes collaboration.
