The ADL and IADL Bundle is designed to help occupational therapy practitioners move beyond simply asking whether someone “can complete” a daily task and instead evaluate what is affecting performance, where breakdowns occur, and how independence can be supported or restored. Across 16 resources and 131 pages, the bundle combines functional activities, clinical references, patient education, environmental assessment, compensatory strategies, and cognitively demanding real-world tasks. Resources address both basic and instrumental activities of daily living, making the bundle useful across neurological, orthopedic, geriatric, cognitive, and general rehabilitation practice.
