Occupational Therapy Theory, Models, Reference and Practice
This document summarizes several theories and models that are relevant to occupational therapy practice, including Piaget's cognitive development theory, Freudian psychodynamic theory, Bronfenbrenner's ecological system theory, Skinner's behavior theory, and cognitive behavior theory. It discusses conceptual practice models like the Occupational Performance Model of Australia and frames of reference such as the Neuro-Developmental Treatment frame of reference, which is used to analyze and treat posture and movement impairments based on kinesiology and biomechanics. Conceptual practice models provide frameworks to explain important aspects of occupational therapy and offer guidelines for clinical assessments and interventions.
Model of Human Occupation
The Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) is an occupation-focused framework developed in the 1980s to explain how engaging in occupations occurs and problems can arise from illness or disability. MOHO views humans as dynamic systems influenced by volition (motivation), habituation (routines), performance capacity, and environment. Through participating in meaningful occupations, people can reshape their occupational abilities and identities to become more adaptive. MOHO provides resources for occupational therapists to engage clients in therapeutic occupations to restore, reorganize, or maintain their occupational performance.
Occupational Therapy & Cognition
Cognition refers to various mental processes such as attention, memory, executive functions, comprehension, and perception. Occupational therapists use a dynamic interactional approach to evaluate and treat cognitive impairments. This approach views cognition as the dynamic interaction between a person, their tasks, and their environments. Occupational therapists evaluate clients through standardized and dynamic assessments to understand their cognitive strengths and limitations. Therapists then develop individualized interventions focused on building awareness, teaching strategies, and modifying tasks and environments to improve clients' cognitive performance and participation in daily activities.
Models in OT practice
This document outlines an activity for occupational therapy students to conceptualize a case study of a client named Mrs. Rita Phillip using one of four occupational therapy models: MOHO, PEOM, Kawa, or CMOP-E. Students will work in small groups to analyze Mrs. Rita's medical and family background, personal interests, and current physical and mental status using the chosen model. The groups will then present their analysis in a poster or short discussion. Feedback will be provided to help students learn how to apply theoretical models to understand clients and their occupational challenges.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on helping clients engage in meaningful occupations to promote health and well-being. Therapists consider various client factors like values, body functions, and skills, as well as environmental contexts. The goal is to understand challenges and support improved ability to perform daily activities.
Role of Occupational Therapy (OT)
Occupational therapy at SIRC aims to prevent disability and restore functional independence through various services. OT services include upper limb exercises, splinting, assisting with activities of daily living, wheelchair skills training, home and workplace modifications, and community reintegration support. The OT process involves assessment, intervention, and evaluation to address patients' rehabilitation needs following a spinal cord injury. Key areas of OT focus are hand therapy, mobility training, self-care skills, and providing assistive devices to improve independence and quality of life.
Occupational therapy in stroke rehabilitation
This presentation was prepared for educating the patients with stroke and their caregivers about the role of Occupational Therapy in stroke. It gives a very BRIEF over view about OT in stroke rehabilitation
Person Environment Model of Occupational Therapy
The Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) model was developed to describe the interaction between a person, their environment, and occupations. It provides a framework to guide clinical reasoning and analysis of how these components interact and influence occupational performance. The model consists of the person, environment, and occupation and how their transactional relationship results in performance. It allows flexibility in assessment and intervention tools to apply in practice.

Sensory Integration Therapy
Sensory integration is a neurological process that allows individuals to make sense of sensations from their body and environment. Sensory integration disorder occurs when this process is not functioning properly, making it difficult for individuals to respond appropriately. Sensory integration therapy aims to stimulate the senses through activities involving movement, touch, sound, and vision to help brains better process sensory information. Research suggests this therapy can help brains of children with sensory integration disorder change and develop through rich sensory experiences.
Model of Human Occupation, Cole & Tuffano (2007)
The Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) is a conceptual model that views people as open systems that are influenced by internal factors like motivation, habits, and skills as well as the external environment. It describes three subsystems that comprise the internal factors: volition (source of motivation), habituation (habits and roles), and performance capacity (underlying skills). MOHO views occupational participation and competence as important to developing one's identity and adapting to different contexts. The model emphasizes the dynamic interaction between the person and their environment and can be used to understand occupational performance and dysfunction.

adaptation in activity
Activity adaptation is the process of modifying activities, tasks, environments, or tools to enable performance or accomplish therapeutic goals. It may be done to modify the activity itself, the demands of the activity, or to compensate for physical, cognitive, or sensory impairments. Examples of adaptations include changing the size or handles of tools, modifying game rules or materials, teaching new techniques to accommodate weaknesses or limitations, and adapting environments to improve safety or accessibility. Adaptations should be tailored specifically to the individual and their goals.
Occupational Therapy Standardized Assessment
The document discusses several standardized assessments used to evaluate cognitive functioning:
- The Allen's Cognitive Level Screen evaluates visual-motor tasks of increasing complexity to assess learning potential and cognitive processing.
