- A refundable deposit of €50 is being charged for this course. On completion of the course AOTI will process a full refund of this deposit (please allow up to 28 working days for this to be processed)

- Please be aware that HSCP Office funding does not cover refreshements/lunch for this course, therefore AOTI is not able to provide this. Details of local options will be provided before the course

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:
