Abstract

Occupational therapists usually use assessment and screening forms that can identify the problems faced by the person. In the field of return to work, the initial assessment is usually used to get an overview of a problem faced by the employee, both physically and mentally. This study explores the potential screening and reporting used using the Likelihood Scale of Environment & Occupation (LEO) or is also known as Skala Kemungkinan Persekitaran & Pekerjaan (SKiPP), related to local industry in Malaysia. The re-evaluation of the LEO/SKiPP screening is done to report the latest developments in the development of the instrument.
