Description
Asher's Occupational Therapy Assessment Tools, 4th Edition
Nearly 600 instruments are reviewed in this new edition of occupational therapy's classic publication, includÂing many developed by occupational therapists. An international team of academicians, clinicians, researchers, and advanced-degree candidates working in various praÂtice arenas collaborated on this update. The assessment profiles--which include title, authors, format, purpose, population, time required to administer, setting or position, materials or tools, brief description, interpretation, reliability and validity, source, additional references, cost, and sample--will be useful to clinicians and students, who must choose appropriate tools for clinical practice; to educators, who select assessment procedures for the classroom; and to researchers, who will find instruments that are designed for research purposes or will benefit from further investigaÂtion. This edition includes a matrix of all assessments, showÂing content areas and age ranges of each instrument.
