The Serve
Case Study
Occupational
Adaptation Model
- People have an inherent drive for mastery. A person is believed to be influenced by 3 systems:
- sensorimotor, cognitive, and psychosocial
- A person's adaptive capacity can be overwhelmed by impairment, physical or emotional disability, and stressful life transitions at any point in one's life.
- Success in occupational performance is a direct result of the person's ability to adapt with sufficient master to satisfy the self and others.
(Cole & Tufano, 2008, p. 108)
