Using the Model of Human Occupation to Nurture an Occupational Focus in the Clinical Reasoning of Experienced Therapists

Abstract

Best ooccupational therapy practice requires a commitment to ongoing learning to enhance clinical reasoning. This paper describes a five-step cooperative learning process to advance clinical reasoning based on the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO). During the five-step process the MOHO concepts and assessments provide opportunities for therapists to develop occupation-focused clinical reasoning and deepen their knowledge of the theory and its application in practice.
