Welcome
We are very excited about the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills. Its development now spans 2 decades, and has been supported by the American Occupational Therapy Foundation and Association and the National Institutes on Aging. AMPS courses have been offered in 18 countries around the world. The AMPS represents a revolutionary and very innovative approach to the problem of how occupational therapists conceptualize and assess function. It is different from any assessment you have encountered in the past, and we are sure that you will share our enthusiasm that a valid, reliable, and sensitive assessment of occupational performance is now available.
