The letter A is used to stand for Activity.

A dimension required of care providers is availability.  It means nothing to a person seeking help when a helper is out of reach, even if he is a very knowledgeable and careful and communicating professional.  When a client is under our care, an active provider initiates support even before he is requested, and at least demonstrates willingness to help.  Thus a good care provider is also active.
