Using MOHO to Inform Practice
This interactive session will explore the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) in a clear, accessible way. Through considering examples from diverse settings, you’ll discover how MOHO can deepen your understanding of clients, support assessment and guide therapy.
Program Overview
The Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) remains one of the most influential and enduring frameworks in occupational therapy, yet many clinicians find that their understanding fades as the realities of practice take over. This webinar offers a chance to reconnect with the foundations of occupation-centred reasoning and revisit why MOHO continues to guide evidence-informed, holistic practice across settings.
In this session you’ll look at how its concepts can support assessment choices, guide clinical reasoning, and bring a clearer structure to your occupational therapy practice. This is an opportunity to revisit the core ideas that underpin our profession and consider how MOHO can inform and develop how you engage people in meaningful activity.
