AbstractDate Presented 04/04/19This poster will highlight the need for and development of the Making Meals Performance Measure (MMPM). This assessment has been used in an occupation-based program to help people living in poverty maximize their food resources. Current assessments focus largely on knowledge acquisition and are self-report measures. The creation of performance measures such as the MMPM help demonstrate the value of occupation-based interventions and the distinct contribution of OT.Primary Author and Speaker: Laura SchmelzerAdditional Authors and Speakers: Rebecca Hughes, Hannah Stanger
