Occupational Adaptation Model

The Occupational Adaptation Model is a framework used by occupational therapists to help individuals improve their ability to perform daily activities. It suggests that people grow and succeed when they effectively adapt to challenges in their environment and roles. When faced with difficulties, individuals can develop new skills and strategies to regain competence and confidence. The model emphasizes the importance of understanding personal abilities, environmental factors, and the desire to engage in meaningful activities, highlighting that adaptation is a continuous, dynamic process essential for maintaining independence and well-being.
