Weekly Calendar Planning Activity

Occupational therapists frequently work with people who are independent in routine or basic ADLs but who have difficulty with non-routine or complex activities. The WCPA was designed to be useful across a variety of populations that exhibit difficulties in executive functioning or higher-level cognitive independent ADLs and can be used to screen for these difficulties to understand the underlying nature of performance problems. The WCPA provides a broad analysis of how a person manages and copes with a complex and cognitively challenging activity. In addition to including a weekly schedule, the assessment features client profiles on error analysis, visual performance, awareness of task difficulty, and pre/post comparisons.
