Andy Overarching Model

The overarching model that will be the basis of Andy’s treatment will be the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO). This occupation theory is designed to provide practical tools, modifications, and strategies for occupational performance. MOHO focuses on the importance of the environment and the occupational and emphasizes this through therapy to help the individual engage in activities they desire. Since Andy is diagnosed with a progressive disease, the focus will be on his limitations and how we can adapt and improve function will be the primary focus of his treatment. Therefore, the focus of Andy’s treatment plan will be incorporating a consistent process of managing his symptoms and finding adaptations to meet the demands of being able to function
daily in his environment and situations. These adaptations and treatment plans will be planned specifically to Andy while using MOHO to ensure an overall satisfactory quality of life. The most optimal practice model for treating Andy is the Rehabilitation Model. This model will focus on what Andy can do, rather than what he cannot do. This allows modifications, adaptations, and compensations in order to facilitate the patient’s ability to participate in his desired activities of daily living (Krajnik, s., 2015) Given that Andy is in the run for a deep brain stimulation procedure, it is important that in the meantime he utilizes focusing on maximizing independence where he is now as he adapts to his disease progressing. The focus on adaptation with rehabilitation makes this specific model the most compatible along with the Model of Human Occupation Model.
