The Canadian occupational performance measure

Abstract

The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is an individualized measure designed for use by Occupational therapists to detect change in a client's self-perception of Occupational Performance over time. The COPM: - identifies problem areas in occupational performance, - evaluates performance and satisfaction relative to those problems areas; and - measures changes in a client's perception of his/her performance over the course of occupational therapy. The COPM is designed to measure changes in self-perception of occupational performance among clients with a variety of disabilities and across all developmental stages.
