The Human Occupation ModelThe Human Occupation Model is an occupation-focused theoretical model classified into concepts that examine the person's volition, habituation, and performance capacity when participating in an occupation (Forsyth et al, 2014, p. 506). By applying MOHO to my community partner Sunshine, the dynamics of how his personal and environmental factors influence his overall professional participation are analyzed. Volition According to Forsyth et al. (2014), Volition is defined as the motivation an individual has to participate in an occupation. It essentially helps the individual choose the occupations to engage in. Volition is classified into three subcategories that reflect the person's causality, values, and personal interests in participating in an occupation. Sunshine's willingness to take part in her current occupations is a desire to be independent. Appreciates having a professional identity that is not dictated by her disability; therefore he chooses to engage in occupations that promote his independence. His personal cause for participating in occupations is his ability to complete them effectively on his own or with limited assistance. The values ​​Sunshine grew up with frame his willingness to be actively involved in various occupations. From an early age, his mother and grandmother instilled in him the value of self-efficacy. He does not ask for more assistance than he needs because independence is meaningful to him. Although he cannot complete many tasks that involve the use of his lower limbs on his own, he appreciates his efforts in trying to accomplish them. Interests also play a key role when deciding which occupations to pursue. He strongly believes that having... middle of paper... ramp in his car allows him to get in and out of the van easily. He also has instruments that support his performance. The bag on the wheelchair allows him to keep his phone, wallet and keys intact. His electric wheelchair allows him to move. Without these affordances, Sunshine's commitment to many occupations would not be successful. Although Sunshine's inability to walk hinders his ability to participate in many occupations, his desire to be independent is what encourages him to actively participate in all areas of occupation.
