What It Captures

The profile captures occupational concerns, relevant person factors, strength or limitation designation where entered, links to occupational needs, and practitioner notes.

Relation-Specific Meaning

A factor can function differently across occupations, so notes and links should show where it is a strength, limitation, or relevant characteristic.

Relevant Limits

The tool is not a diagnostic assessment, impairment severity scale, exhaustive medical history, or intervention prescription system.

Is this a diagnostic profile?

No. It is a PEOP-aligned formulation aid for OT planning, not a diagnostic assessment or scoring system.

Can a factor be both a strength and a limitation?

Yes. The same factor may function differently across occupations, so relation-specific notes should be supported.

What happens when a factor is not linked to an occupation?

It remains visible as unlinked so the practitioner can decide whether and how it matters.

Does the tool include exact PEOP factor categories?

No exact taxonomy is supplied beyond physical, cognitive, psychological, and other personal factors, so the demo must not invent detailed subdomains.
