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.
An update is available for AMPS 2005 that allows you to change the program's Language Preference;
it can be run in four different languages (
English, Swedish, Danish, and Dutch).
If you already own a software passcode for Version 2005 of the AMPS Computer-scoring Software,
you may download an update for your software.

What is the AMPS?
The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) is an innovative observational
assessment that is used to measure the quality of a person’s activities of daily
living (ADL). The quality of the person’s ADL performance is assessed by rating the
effort, efficiency, safety, and independence of 16 ADL motor and 20 ADL process skill items.

Who can administer and score an AMPS evaluation?
The AMPS is an ideal tool for occupational therapy practitioners who:
- have clients older than 3 years old.
- are looking for a valid and reliable assessment of functional performance.
- need to demonstrate effectiveness of intervention strategies.
