OT Theories & Models

MOHO Components: Volition

Person’s motivation for occupation (values, interests, & personal causation

MOHO Components: Habituation

Habits & Roles that organize behavior

MOHO Components: Performance Capacity

Physical & mental abilities that underlie occupational performance

Occupational Adaptation (OA): Key Idea

Process of adaption that people go through when engaging in occupation; the adaptive capacity” as occupational beings (adaptation=normative process)

Process is key, can be disrupted during periods of transitions or stress

Occupational Adaptation (OA): Focus

• Process of occupational adaptation that people go through when they engage in occupation 

• They adaptive capacity of humans as occupational beings 

• Adaption viewed as a normative process 

• OA intervention process is the goal of OT services

PEO

• PEO = Person-Environment-Occupation

• Focus: “Fit” between person, environment, and occupation

• “Fit” Changes as person and environment change

• Lifespan perspective

CMOP-E

• CMOP-E: Canadian Model of Occupational Performance & Engagement

• Focus: Spirituality of the Center of the Person

  • Person-environment -occupational triad → Occupational Performance

• Occupational performance is determined by the environment, person, and occupation (occupational triad).

PEOP

• PEOP = Person-Environment-Occupational-Performance Model 

• Focus: Bridge between the person and environment is occupation 

  • It differs in the degree to which the ideas in the model are defined, described, and emphasized.

Ecology of Human Performance (EHP)

• Ecology: Interaction between person & context 

  • OT concerned with how ecology affects occupation performance

  • Humans are always in context → Context always influence performance
