ABSTRACT

The Model of Human Occupation (Figure 1) is based on the belief that occupational participation is a central force in health, wellbeing and development. It views people as dynamic, self-organising beings, who are continuously responding to changes and instigating changes. This self-organisation stems from a person’s occupational behaviour. In other words, we can maintain, reinforce and build our capacities, beliefs and characters as we engage in leisure, self-care and work-related tasks.
