Abstract

Once goals and 'objectives have been specified, the activity-specialist must select activities to meet these goals and objectives. The activities utilized in the intervention process must be thoroughly understood in order to assure optimal benefit to the older adult. The procedure for systematically achieving a precise and complete understanding of activities is activity analysis. Examples of aspects for possible consideration are presented for each of the following components: Psychomotor; Mental; Affective; Social; Adaptability and Variability of'Activities; Usefulness to Participants; and Feasibility. This process if analyzing activities should help activity specialists provide more meaningful activities for aged adults.
