Abstrakt: This paper addresses the issue of allowing clients the choice of activities to perform for evaluative purposes. Studies demonstrating that choice or control may improve performance in both occupational therapy and psychology literature are reviewed. It offers a description of the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (Fisher, 1995) as an assessment that considers choice a critical component of the assessment process and describes a study that demonstrates client choice improves performance during the assessment process.
