Editorial Reviews

Because this book is clearly written and specifically spells out the components of an activity analysis, I believe it to be a very useful addition to the occupational therapy literature and well worth the listed price. The fact that the authors have chosen to link the language of their templates to the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework enhances its usefulness for current practice.”
