Kielhofner and Burke created this model

MOHO- Model of Human Occupation

100

This framework looks at occupation as a core domain and spirituality as the central core of a person and is focused on enablement and social justice.

CMOP

100

A limitation to this framework is that there is no insight on how the interactions between person, environment, and occupation occur.

Strengths of this framework: helps OT practitioners with clear start and clear end of therapeutic relationship, emphasizes establishing client-centered goals and nature of OT and supports professional reasoning

CMOP


100

Focus of intervention is on volition and habituation which leads to occupational competence and occupational identity and the result is occupational adaptation.

MOHO: 

The practical application increases motivation by replacing an intervention that may be perceived as meaningless by an individual to one that an individual might find meaningful.

100

Great choice when emphasizing adaptation as an internal process.

OA

200

Model created by Baum and Christiansen

The person who expanded upon the model in 2015.

PEOP- Person Environment Occupation Performance Model

Bass expanded it.

200

PEOP considers this as a primary outcome of interest 

Occupational performance.

Performance is large aspect of this model. Identifies barrier and facilitators to performance.

200

The benefits of PEOP: comprehensive model, focus away from deficits, top-down

Well conceived view of social, cultural and political influences.

The limitations of PEOP:

No current assessment tools, no evidence based research

200

Focus of intervention is on enablers and barriers which leads to occupational performance and results in occupational participation.

PEOP

200

This model is good to select when there are many aspects of the person that need to be considered in detail while still examining the aspects of the interactions.

PEOP

Mary Law

MOHO focuses on these three internal factors and/or this external factor.

Volition- includes personal causation, values and interests

Habituation- includes habits and internalized roles

Performance capacity- objective and subjective components; is "the ability to do things"

AND/OR 

Environment (external)

300

This framework is a simple way to describe OT and its practice. It uses multiple ways to elicit change and implements interventions in context and at various levels of the environment.

The limitation of this theory or the time when it would not be helpful to use.

PEO

Limitation: if there is need to look at ONE aspect in isolation

300

This framework uses five specific intervention strategies which include: establish and restore, alter, adapt/modify, prevent, and create.

EHP

  • Establish and restore: focus on sensorimotor, cognitive and or psychosocial domains; establish new performance patterns and restore abilities by teaching skills; skills are measurable and additive 

  • Alter: focus on the context; start with establishing baseline in person domains, select a context; do not alter the client’s internal and external context 

  • Adapt/modify: focus directly on the modification of the context or task for successful performance; person variables remain as they are, changes are made to the task itself and/or context instead; modifications and adaptations are implemented for physical and social environment including all contexts (physical, cultural, virtual)

  • Prevent: proactively minimizing risks and avoid development of performance problems; strategies to prevent the occurrence of poor performance; primary intervention approach

  • Create: goal is to support optimal performance by maximizing opportunities that enhance one’s quality of life; promotes enriching and meaningful occupational performance; approaches can target person variables, tasks, and contexts

300

Best model to use when considering therapeutic environments and to communicate with other disciplines.

EHP

400

Winnie Dunn developed this theory.

Schkade and Schultz developed this theory.

Ecology of Human Performance

Occupational Adaptation


400

Focus of this theory is on the dynamic transactional interrelationships between the person, environment, and occupations. The goal of this framework:

PEO- Person Environment Occupation Model 

Goal is to produce the best possible occupational performance

400

The strength of this framework is that it focuses on adaptation as an internal process and emphasizes the client as an agent of change in setting the goals.

A limitation could be that it does not necessarily take into consideration a changing environment.

Occupational Adaptation Model

400

In this framework, the intervention is planned by both the patient and the therapist. Data is gathered about the patient's occupational environments and role expectations, the primary treatment focus is selected and therapy program uses both occupational readiness and occupational activity and then relative mastery is evaluated.

Occupational Adaptation
400
This model is good to use in client-centered goal setting continuously to determine the client assessment of occupations.

CMOP-E


500

This theory stems from the human occupation model by Reed & Sanders. 

The other theorists involved created main concepts for this framework including enablement, social justice, and environment.

CMOP- Canadian Model of Occupational Performance

Polatajko (enablement)

Law (social justice)

Townsend (environment)

500

The focus of occupational adaptation.

Adaptation is essential for overall occupational functioning; theory for people to generate an adaptive response to occupational challenges 

Ability to meet occupational challenges with relative mastery...

500

This framework is comprehensive and can be used in many practice contexts. It emphasizes habit training, organization, and adaptation. 

A limitation to this framework.

MOHO

Limitation: may need to be supplemented (particularly in relation to performance)

500

Focus of intervention is on person-environment-occupation fit which leads to occupational performance resulting in OCCUPATIONAL ENGAGEMENT. This framework uses a tool and outcome measure that breaks down performance into: self-care, productivity and leisure. 

The other framework that uses this tool.

CMOP-E

Tool: Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)

Used frequently with PEOP because it also uses COPM

500

Best model to use that considers the influence of each part and does not examine one aspect in isolation.
