Autherapies | Evidence-based therapies

Community and social life performance reflects an individual’s involvement in activities such as recreation, leisure, religious practices, and political engagement. Understanding participation in these areas provides valuable insights into overall well-being, social integration, and quality of life.

Professionals assess engagement using interviews and standardized self-reported questionnaires. These tools capture the person’s experiences, preferences, and challenges, helping caregivers and support teams create personalized care plans that address unique needs and goals.

This approach has shown positive outcomes, improving the effectiveness of support and interventions tailored to enhance social participation and community involvement.
