MODELS IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
What is a model?
Organizing framework used to think about practice in a systematic way
Provides a common language with which we can discuss practice with others
Some models are used more widely than others
Why do we use models in occupational therapy?
Guide treatment
o Using a model helps you to identify a person’s assets & limitations, prioritize
areas for treatment, and sometimes tells you ‘how’ to go about treatment
o Different models will have different guidelines for providing intervention
Act as a unifying base
o Services where all therapists work within the same model will have a more
consistent approach to intervention
Accountability
o Can make role of different service providers clearer
o Make role of OT within multidisciplinary sector more clear
o Opportunities for measuring outcomes
E.g., WHODAS 2.0 is linked to ICF
Comparison with others
o Compare effectiveness of treatment between persons, and across services
Communication
o Communicate more clearly the unique contribution occupational therapy is
making within the team
o Some are OT specific: MOHO
o Some are interdisciplinary: ICF
