Abstract
- This article will describe how occupational therapists in Toronto, Canada, use the Safety Assessment of Function and the Environment for Rehabilitation (SAFER) tool and the SAFER tool manual to conduct home safety assessments and interventions. Interview, observation and task performance are used by therapists to complete the 97-item SAFER tool, which includes intervention strategies such as client and caregiver education. Further developments of the SAFER tool will be briefly described. Key words: occupational therapy, community, environmental safety, assessment, treatment, intervention
