The Short Child Occupational Profile (SCOPE), Version 2.2, 2008
Authors: Patricia L. Bowyer,Jessica Kramer,Annie Ploszaj,Melissa Ross,Orit Schwartz,Gary Kielhofner,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. SCOPE Version 2.2 includes several resources to support the use of the SCOPE in practice, including:
- Extensive definitions, rating criteria, and examples for each item,
- Summary administration and rating flowcharts,
- Example interview questions for parents and teachers (click here),
- Goal and intervention planning table (click here),
- SCOPE information sheet that can be passed out to parents and other professionals to explain the purpose of the SCOPE, and
- Three detailed case studies.
The SCOPE manual includes the following reproducible forms:
- SCOPE Summary Rating Form
- SCOPE Rating Totals Form
- SCOPE Multiple Assessment Summary Form
- SCOPE Intervention Planning Form
- SCOPE Parent Report Forms in English and Spanish
To access a school specific SCOPE Goal and Intervention Planning Chart, click here. This chart was created specifically for young students with significant physical and/or cognitive disabilities in the state of Illinois, and goals are aligned to the State of Illinois Learning Standards. Practitioners working with schools in other states and countries may have local learning and educational standards that apply. Note: In order to open the PDF, you will need a password located on the back of the first page of the SCOPE v2.2 manual.
The SCOPE assessment is discussed and illustrated with a case in chapter 18 of The Model Of Human Occupation: Theory and Application (Kielhofner, 2008).
