Commentary on ''How Children and their Parents Value using the CanadianOccupational Performance Measure (COPM) with Children Themselves''

Abstract

The COPM is a patient reported outcome measure designed to detect changes in a client’s self-reported occupational performance over time and can be used with children with a minimum mental age of 8 years [2]. The COPM consists of 5 steps and involves a semi-structured interview performed by a therapist. During this interview children prioritise a maximum of five important activities they would like to address, as part of an agreed intervention.
