Practitioner And Client Roles

The client may contribute lived detail; the practitioner organizes factors and authors the relationship explanation.

What It Captures

The tool captures one occupational performance issue, person factors, occupation or task features, environmental supports or barriers, and a relationship explanation.

Limits

The tool does not score, diagnose, infer causality, prescribe intervention, or provide fixed worksheet prompts beyond the supported factor categories.

Is this a scoring tool?

No. The result is a descriptive formulation, not a standardized rating or score.

Can a client complete it independently?

No standalone client workflow is specified. The supported experience is collaborative completion led by the practitioner.

Does the system decide which factor is most important?

No. The system organizes entered information; practitioner interpretation remains separate.

What happens if one section is empty?

Empty factor areas are shown as gaps so the practitioner can see that the formulation is incomplete or sparse.
