Abstract: Describes a group assessment format conducted by therapists in movement, art, and occupational therapy. The introductory assessment involves the 3 therapists leading initial assessment tasks in their respective areas for all new admissions from the previous week.

Personal behaviors observed include grooming, affect, reality orientation, and self-esteem. Task behaviors include following directions, energy levels, concentration, planning, motivation, frustration, and attention to detail.
