PROJECT

In all areas of Occupational Therapy (OT) practice, assessment is the fundamental starting point that provides a detailed understanding of each person’s specific skills, limitations, and needs.

The use of standardized assessment tools in OT provides:

Objective evaluation

Accurate diagnosis

It facilitates the measurement of progress in the short, medium and long term

It optimizes interaction between teams, promoting transdisciplinary coordination.

Project OBJECTIVES

Given the need for tools that guarantee a professional practice based on scientific evidence, the objectives of the InstrumentTO Project are:

Create

____________________________

Create Occupational Therapy assessment tools.

Translate

____________________________

Translate Occupational Therapy assessment tools.

Fit

____________________________

Adapting Occupational Therapy assessment tools across cultures.

Z

Validate

____________________________

Evaluate the psychometric properties of Occupational Therapy assessment tools.

Web Platform

____________________________

Develop a web platform on standardized assessment tools, identifying those that do or do not have an adaptation and validation to the Spanish context.

Project TOOLS

Currently, InTeO has translated, adapted and evaluated the psychometric properties of the following tools:

FAB
