Assessing Functional Outcomes in Community-Based Programs
Session Description
Therapeutic recreation specialists who lack assessment tools appropriate to one's practice setting may wish to adapt existing instruments to document clients' needs and progress. This session will introduce an instrument developed to successfully assess functional outcomes in an outdoor adaptive sports setting. Through activity and task analysis, the Progress Report Instrument can be adapted to measure functional outcomes in a variety of settings and activities. The session will offer suggestions on training staff and volunteers to use the instrument. Participants will leave this session with an understanding of an assessment and documentation model which can be adapted to various settings for evidence-based practice.
