Authors: Patricia L. Bowyer, Jessica Kramer, Annie Ploszaj, Melissa Ross, Orit Schwartz, Gary Kielhofner, and Kathleen Kramer
The SCOPE is an occupation-focused assessment that determines how a child’s volition, habituation, skills, and the environment facilitate or restrict participation. Developed in collaboration with international practitioners, the SCOPE seeks to facilitate a systematic evaluation of most MOHO concepts. SCOPE ratings are based on each child’s “individual developmental trajectory”- the capacities a child has the potential to acquire in the future given the child’s age, impairment, prior life experiences, and environmental context. This approach enables practitioners to capture each child’s strengths as well as challenges using the SCOPE.
Practitioners can gather information to rate the SCOPE in a variety of ways (observation, interviews, chart review, and other assessments). The SCOPE can be used with children birth- 21 years of age with a range of abilities and diagnosis. The SCOPE was designed to be used to document progress towards occupational therapy intervention goals as well as to screen for occupational therapy services.
