Client self-assessment
OSA depends on the client’s own competence and importance responses. Practitioner ratings are not substitutes for the client’s submitted self-assessment.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Version and language context
When multiple versions or languages are available, results should remain tied to the version used and comparisons should warn when versions differ.
Priority visibility
The profile can make priority areas visible through the relationship between perceived competence and importance when supported by the assessment structure.
Partial completion
In-progress assessments should preserve responses and remain incomplete until submitted or intentionally reviewed as partial.
Who completes the OSA?
The client completes the OSA. The practitioner assigns it and reviews the submitted competence/importance profile.
Does OSA include both competence and importance?
Yes. The tool captures the client’s perceived competence and occupational importance according to the OSA structure.
Can the demo include real OSA items or scoring?
No. Exact items, response scales, scoring, translations, and profile calculations are unresolved in the supplied record and must not be invented.
Can OSA results be compared over time?
Yes, prior completed profiles can be compared when versions are compatible or clearly labeled when versions differ.
Does the tool create OT goals automatically?
No. The profile supports shared goal setting, but goals are decided through practitioner-client interpretation and discussion.
