Allen Cognitive Model (ACL) | The Allen Battery is the combination of all items designed for use with the Allen Cognitive Levels.
The Allen Battery consists of: |
Biomechanical
|
This model is based on the assumption that voluntary movement and control are the result of muscle strength and function, joint integrity and range, and physical endurance/tolerance.
The capacity for motion, therefore, has three main components: 1. ROM 2. Muscle Strength 3. Endurance Also assess: Edema Pain Occupation-based Assessments Coordination/Dexterity |
COMP_E | The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is the only assessment tool developed along with the CMOP. It is a semi structured interview based on this model and provides practitioners with the tool to organize their thoughts. |
Developmental | The guiding principle of all developmental theories is that people develop in a predictable sequence from birth to maturity and throughout life. This model is therefore appropriate for all ages. The assessments are selected based on the presenting difficulties.
Areas that can be assessed within this model are: Some of the assessment tools that can be used with this model are: |
Dynamic Interactional Cognitive Rehab | • Contextual Memory Test (CMT) • Toglia Category Assessment • Dynamic Object Search Test (derived from Dynamic Visual Processing Test) • Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) • Cognitive Performance Test (CPT) • Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT) • Arnadottir OT- ADL Neurobehavioral Evaluation (A-ONE) • Cognitive Assessment of Minnesota (CAM) • Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA) • Motor Free Visual Perceptual Test (MVPT) • Test of Everyday Attention (TEA) |
Ecology of Human Performance | There is a worksheet or checklist for each component that makes up the constructs.
The 4 constructs of this model are: The Checklists and worksheets that can be used in the evaluation process: |
MOHO | The MOHO has over 20 assessments which serve a wide range of purposes from screening to identifying issues related to specialized areas, such as work rehabilitation. Some of the assessments are: • The Assessment of Communication and Interaction Skill (ACIS) • Assessment of Work Performance (AWP) • Child Occupational Self-Assessment (COSA) • The Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool (MOHOST) • The Occupational Circumstances Assessment Interview and Rating Scale (OCAIRS) • The Occupational Performance History Interview-II (OPHI-II) • Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA) • The Occupational Therapy Psychosocial Assessment of Learning (OTPAL) • The Pediatric Volitional Questionnaire(PVQ) • The Short Child Occupational Profile (SCOPE) • The School Setting Interview (SSI) • The Volitional Questionnaire (VQ) • Work Environment Impact Scale (WEIS) • Worker Role Interview (WRI) • Residential Environment Impact Scale (REIS) |

Occupational Adaptation | • Relative Mastery Measurement Scale (RMMS) – only assessment tool directly related to the occupational adaptation by Schkade and Schultz (1992). Other assessments: • Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA) • Occupational Adaptation Interview Guide (OAPG) • Occupational Case Analysis Interview and Rating Scale (OCAIRS) • Occupational Performance History Interview (OPHI) |
PEOP | Any assessment assessing the client, environment, and occupation.
• Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA) |
