SUMMARY:Perceive: Recall: Plan and Perform System (PRPP) - Assessment (Paediatric-focused) - SYDNEY - June 2026
DESCRIPTION:The PRPP System is one of the Occupational Performance Model (Australia) assessment and treatment approaches. The PRPP Assessment is a valid and reliable two-stage\, criterion-referenced tool that employs task analysis to identify problems with mastery of everyday tasks and information processing reasons for the difficulties observed. Four primary dimensions of information processing are considered: attention/perception\, memory/recall\, planning/problem solving and motor enactment. The interpretation of findings enables specific\, measurable mastery and processing goals to be set.The PRPP system is used in many settings by Occupational Therapists to assess children and adults of either sex and from any cultural background. It is a formal way of identifying and documenting what Occupational Therapists observe to be interfering with their clients’ abilities to complete everyday tasks and routines. Aims/objectives of the workshop include:An understanding of the theoretical foundation of the instrument as well as neuroscience evidence that supports the major constructs of perceive\, recall\, plan and perform and sub-constructs.how to reliably assess task mastery using the PRPP System Stage 1how to reliably assess information processing using the PRPP System Stage 2how to set measurable mastery and processing goals from assessment findingsdocumentation of findings into an occupational therapy assessment reportan introduction to the theoretical foundation of intervention and the PRPP intervention modelan overview of designing an intervention plan to promote mastery.The workshop will include extensive use of case-based problem solving around video-taped examples of client performance to assist participants integrate their knowledge and skills.Arrival tea/coffee\, morning tea\, afternoon tea and lunch provided.This workshop is suitable for occupational therapists with an interest in applying PRPP to a peadiatric caseload. Videoconferencing/Online Format - Zi Mei Events is committed to provide high quality professional development\, opportunities for participants.

Dr Chapparo and Dr Ranka have co-authored the Occupational Performance Model (Australia).Associate Professor Chris Chapparo has interests in cognition\, management of sensory/ motor problems in children and adults and occupational therapy theory. Dr Chapparo is a founding member of Sensory Integration International and the Australian SI Faculty and she is a neurodevelopmental therapy instructor.  Her research interests lie in the areas of children’s information processing and social participation.Dr Judy Ranka’s research interests include ecological assessment of cognition in adults with neurological disorders\, and effects of orthotic intervention on hand function and the immediate effects of physical guidance techniques on arm use. She is currently completing doctoral studies focused on investigating the effects of information processing disorders on every day task performance in men with HIV/AIDS dementia.
