I personally really enjoyed learning about the MOHO model which is a Model of Practice (MoP). Basically the MOHO views occupational performance by using terms such as volition, habituation, and performance + environment. Through this model these 3 inter-related aspects are considered as what we are comprised of.  The purpose of the MOHO is to provide reason as to why these 3 factors influence what people do in their everyday lives and to and to show how problems can arise when they are interrupted by illness, impairments, etc., and how that tends to disrupt occupations. I also learned that the term "motivation" is very involved with MOHO. The MOHO attempts to to show just how occupation uses motivation, if that makes sense. It also emphasizes that to understand human occupation, we have to understand the physical and social environments in which it takes place.
A key concept involved with the MOHO is that engagement in occupation is what produces or maintains health!

Blog Post Challenge #9

For this post I decided to discuss just what a therapeutic relationship is and what it entails. A therapeutic relationship is defined as the interaction between an occupational therapist practitioner and their client. Therapeutic relationships differ from everyday relationships, in that they are key in facilitating the healing and rehabilitation process. They also differ from the typical relationship in that it's not about both people but strictly about the client and meeting their needs. Developing and sustaining therapeutic relationships involves the ability to develop trust, demonstrate empathy, understand verbal and nonverbal communication, and the use of active listening. Trust is one of the most important aspects in any type of relationship to me. Once trust is obtained the client feels more comfortable with sharing personal information which in turn greatly benefits the intervention process. Developing empathy is another huge part of this process, the client must believe tha...

Leadership Summit - Groups

Being able to meet with other classmates to discuss different ideas about way to approach our respected groups was very beneficial. It reminded me a lot of what we did when we facilitated with others on our first group leading experience. However, it was a little different because we each had different topics. I liked it better like this because we all didnt have the same thing to say or same ideas. I believe doing this leadership summit is very helpful as well as important because we will be doing the same style of meeting with our coworkers the rest of our careers as well as people in other professions. Being able to work well with others as well as knowing how to learn from others can be very important in out profession. By simulating this experience they way we did, we are able to gain more knowledge thanks to a potential colleague, plus learn more about ourselves in the sense of how well we work with others and how well we can learn from others. I believe that we should continue t...

Neuronote #2

On Wednesday we were given the opportunity to attend the Memphis Rolling Grizzlies practice. The Rolling Grizzlies are a group of guys that are athletic, entertaining, and very inspiring. The individuals who make up the team all have different backgrounds, lifestyles, and goals, however there are two things they all share; they love the game of basketball and they play in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA). For those of you who think the words disabled or paralyzed entails that someone is unable to compete or perform in an athletic sense get in contact with me and I’ll take you to the next practice and be more than happy to show just how wrong you are. We watched them practice for two hours, and I honestly hadn’t realized that even 30 minuets had gone by because I was so engaged and amazed with what I saw. I don’t know about you, but I played baseball, basketball, and football my whole life growing up, practice after practice. With my memories and knowledge of baske...
