“…Occupational therapy bases its interventions on knowledge about the transactional relationship between the patient, the engagement in activities that are meaningful to them, and the environment for the therapeutic use of occupations, aiming to enable or increase participation (American Occupational Therapy Association, 2020). Thus, the TAP-BR is a program that organizes and systematizes actions well-established in the clinical practice of occupational therapy, such as the use and application of meaningful activities, e.g., care strategies, as well as the simplification and grading of these activities and the environment, to facilitate the engagement of older persons in the prescribed activity and, finally, the guidance of family caregivers in relation to their use and application (Novelli et al, 2018a) The TAP-BR is developed from two approaches: first, application and use of the activities proposed to the persons with dementia, providing their engagement in activities appropriate to their preserved capacities; second, guidance and training of family caregivers regarding the use and application of the prescribed activities (Gitlin et al, 2009;Novelli et al, 2018a).…”
