Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) Model

The Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) Model is a framework used to understand how people engage in daily activities. It emphasizes the interaction between three key elements: the individual (Person), their surroundings (Environment), and the activities they participate in (Occupation). The PEO Model suggests that optimal well-being and performance occur when these three elements are aligned. Disruptions or mismatches among them can lead to challenges in daily life. By examining how these components interact, professionals can better support individuals in achieving a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.
