Type of Practice
Client-Centered Practice
OT in Canada is evidence-based as it focuses on client-centered enablement of
occupation, based on client information and critical review of relevant research, expert
consensus and past experience
► Take all the information you see, what the client is saying, past experiences, and
combine it together for best practice guidelines (eg. Best stroke practice
guidelines)
Since the clients have experience and knowledge about their occupations, they are
ACTIVE PARTNERS in the Occupational Therapy process
▪ Risk taking is necessary for positive change
▪ Client-centered practice in OT focuses on enabling occupation getting them to
enable the thing the client was not able to do and get them do it again
OT Theory
❖ Canadian Model of Occupation Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E) breaks up
into person, environment and occupation (developed by COTO in 1987)
▪ CMOP-E illustrates how OTs see the
dynamic relationship between persons, their
environment and their occupations (daily
activities related to self-care, productivity or
leisure)
▪ Provides a framework for enabling
occupation in all persons
▪ 3-D structure of the model shows the
interdependence between person, the
environment and occupation; a change in one
area automatically affects the other
▪ Spirituality, which is at the core of the
model, resides in persons, is shaped by the
environment and gives meaning to
occupations
▪ With the person at its center, this model conveys occupatioal therap’s cliet-
centered perspective
▪ Client-centered practice is based on collaborative assessment of the
occupational needs of the individuals or groups within their specific
environments
