Activity Analysis/Occupational Analysis can be:

Activity Analysis/Occupational Analysis can be:

• A. graded or adapted
• B. only standardized
• C. not modifiable
• D. identical for all clients

Answer: (A)

In Activity Analysis/Occupational Analysis, the task is looked at in terms of what it requires and how a person can perform it. A central point is that these analyses are designed to be flexible for the client by grading or adapting the activity. Grading means adjusting the task demands to match current abilities and to progress as skills improve—like simplifying steps, reducing complexity, or giving more time. Adapting involves changing the activity itself, the tools, or the environment so participation is possible even when the standard version is too hard or ill-suited—for example using larger buttons, Velcro fasteners, or a different setup. This is why the statement that this analysis can be graded or adapted is the best choice. It captures the personalized, scalable nature of the process. It isn’t limited to standardized, fixed tasks, and it isn’t identical for everyone or unmodifiable—those ideas contradict how OT tailoring works to individual goals and abilities.
