This case report focused on the experience of an individual living in transitional housing who was evaluated with a performance-based occupational therapy assessment in the context of community-based interdisciplinary psychosocial care provided by a robust occupational therapy fieldwork program. Method: This case report generally followed the CARE Case Report Guidelines and highlights the use of a standardized performance-based assessment and follow-up care suggested by test outcomes. Results: This assessment confirmed that the client did not have executive function problems, rather his performance was impeded by social anxiety and agoraphobia. It also identified his occupational strengths, including a passion for art and his desire to reconnect with his family and take steps toward more independent housing. Conclusion: The standardized performance-based occupational therapy assessment of executive function carried out in a natural group setting confirmed its value in a psychosocial rehabilitative transitional housing program.
