The Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E) was developed by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists in 1997. It describes transactions and mutual influences between the dimensions of occupational performance. The main model illustrates the relationship between person, occupation and environment. Spirituality is the fourth dimension, placed in the centre of the model, to highlight its fundamental importance.

The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) is a research-validated, standardised observational assessment that evaluates the quality of motor and process skills demonstrated during meaningful activities of daily living (ADLs). Using criterion-referenced scoring and Rasch-based measurement, the AMPS provides objective information to support clinical reasoning, intervention planning and functional outcome measurement.

Designed for individuals aged two through the lifespan, the AMPS is applicable across diverse occupational therapy settings, including pediatrics, mental health, neurological rehabilitation, geriatrics, acute care, outpatient rehabilitation and community-based practice.

The Center for Innovative Therapy Solutions (CITS) is the exclusive provider of official AMPS training, standardised rater calibration and the AMPS Web Application for clinical scoring. Our comprehensive programme combines flexible online education with modern, browser-based assessment technology.

Our mission is to empower occupational therapists worldwide with innovative, evidence-based tools that advance occupation-centered practice and improve the measurement of meaningful functional outcomes.
