Description du produit

This substantially revised edition expands the use of the Pool Activity Level (PAL) instrument to include clients with cognitive disabilities as well those with dementia. Originally developed as a framework for developing meaningful occupation for people with dementia, the PAL instrument is now in place as the basis of activity-based care models in several NHS trusts, as well as being used by carers at home and professionals in many sectors and settings. This resource guides the reader through a series of clear practical steps and uses case studies to enable them to understand, plan and implement activities. The instrument includes photocopiable activity checklists and plans that take into account users' life histories and help to match abilities with activities. Following two years of feedback from practitioners and carers, the author has refined the instrument, allowing it to be tailored more closely to the needs of individual users and has included new features such as an outcome sheet and reformatted checklists.
