Perceive, Recall, Plan & Perform (PRPP) – Assessment Course
The Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform System of Task Analysis (PRPP System) comprises an Assessment (PRPP Assessment) and an Intervention (PRPP Intervention) component. PRPP Assessment course is a pre-requisite for PRPP Intervention.
Program Overview
The Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform System of Task Analysis (PRPP System) comprises an Assessment (PRPP Assessment) and an Intervention (PRPP Intervention) component. PRPP Assessment course is a pre-requisite for PRPP Intervention.
This course will provide training for the PRPP Assessment
PRPP Assessment (PRPP-A) is an assessment of functional cognition which looks specifically at how people apply cognitive strategies to any needed or desired everyday task or routine. It is an authentic, culturally responsive approach that is person-centred, criterion-referenced and ecologically valid.
The PRPP-A is administered in two stages. Stage One is used to assess occupational performance mastery; that is, how well the occupation is performed. Stage Two is used to identify reasons for task performance mistakes. An information processing model of cognition underpins the structure of Stage Two.
Participants learn about the occupational therapy focus of the assessment, the theoretical and conceptual foundation on which the assessment is built, the specific models of cognition and evidence base that supports the structure of the assessment and how to reliably assess dimensions of attention, perception (Perceive), learning/memory (Recall), higher cognition (Plan) and response activation (Perform) within the context of the everyday occupations being performed.
The PRPP System is applicable for use with people of any age or diagnosis at any level of cognitive functioning (comatose/high functioning) who have difficulty coping with the cognitive demands of daily life in home, community or health care contexts. The PRPP System is regularly used in the practice areas of neurology, paediatrics, developmental disabilities, aged care and mental health, and across a range of contexts from acute care to community living.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the occupational therapy, neurosciences and educational foundation of the assessment, and its psychometric properties.
- Assess and score task performance mastery from videotaped examples of client performances using Stage One of the PRPP Assessment.
- Assess and score cognitive strategy application behaviours applied to tasks on dimensions of perceive, recall, plan and perform from videotaped examples of client performances using Stage Two of the PRPP Assessment.
- Write specific, measurable mastery and strategy application goals for clients assessed.
- Use the PRPP Assessment as a client centred outcome measure of occupational performance.
- Discuss the relevance of assessment findings to planning occupational therapy intervention.
COURSE STRUCTURE
The PRPP Assessment course is delivered over five days, attendance at all 5 days is compulsory.
The course content is delivered through presentations, video case-based learning opportunities and small group problem solving.
