  • Observe a student in his or her classroom performing at least two schoolwork tasks that have been assigned by the teacher
  • Score the quality of 36 performance skills that the student enacted while working on each task
  • Use the OTAP software to generate a School AMPS Results Report that includes the student’s School AMPS measures and percentile ranks
  • Plan interventions, develop goals, write documentation, and provide evidence of change in a student’s schoolwork tasks
