Occupational Therapy Functional Evaluation Survey

A pre-treatment or progress-check survey for occupational therapy clients that maps real difficulty with daily living tasks, pain during activity, need for assistance, and personal priorities for regaining independence. An AI follow-up interview digs into the single hardest task to surface what's really blocking it and what a good outcome would look like, giving therapists richer intake data than a checklist alone.

Message

Thank you for sharing this — it goes directly to your occupational therapist to help shape a plan built around your priorities and daily reality, not just a checklist.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Goes beyond a static checklist with a matrix of daily-living difficulty ratings, a pain-during-activity scale, and a frequency-of-assistance question to map real functional status
  • Uses a max-diff exercise to surface which independence priorities matter most to the client, not just a list of options
  • Includes an AI follow-up interview that digs into the single hardest-rated activity to uncover what's actually blocking it and what a good outcome would look like, giving therapists richer intake data than a form alone
  • Pairs quantitative scales with an open-ended 'what would success look like' question, then routes everything into a report the therapist can act on directly

Jotform

Occupational Therapy Evaluation Form Template

A fielding-ready static form template covering standard OT evaluation fields, built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder. It's designed for one-time data capture rather than an interactive assessment. No mechanism for probing deeper into any single response.

What it does well

  • Ready-to-use template within a widely adopted form builder
  • Likely customizable fields and layout via Jotform's editor
  • Easy integration with Jotform's broader form ecosystem (e.g. e-signatures, file uploads)

Where it falls short

  • Static question set with no adaptive follow-up into whichever task the client finds hardest
  • No built-in voice interview option or guided screen-share task
  • No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent AI prompt methodology

SurveySparrow

Occupational Therapy Evaluation Form Template | Pediatric OT Assessments

A conversational-style form template, though its framing leans toward pediatric OT assessments specifically rather than general adult pre-treatment or progress-check evaluation. It offers a chat-like respondent experience but is still a fixed question flow.

What it does well

  • Conversational UI that may feel friendlier than a traditional form
  • Template geared toward a specific OT sub-population (pediatric)
  • Part of a broader survey platform with reporting/dashboard features

Where it falls short

  • Pediatric framing may not suit general or progress-check OT evaluations without heavy editing
  • No adaptive AI interview to dig deeper into a client's hardest task
  • No per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt disclosure

Typeform

Occupational Therapy Consultation Form Template

A polished, conversational one-question-at-a-time template suited to initial consultation intake. It's a fixed-path form rather than an evaluation instrument with adaptive probing, and is framed around consultation/intake rather than functional progress tracking.

What it does well

  • Clean, well-designed one-question-at-a-time respondent experience
  • Good fit for initial consultation/intake rather than deep clinical evaluation
  • Backed by Typeform's established design and logic-jump tooling

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive follow-up interview to explore the client's single hardest activity in depth
  • No voice AI interview or guided task with screen share option
  • No automated quality scoring of responses or transparent prompt-level methodology
