Q

Occupational Functioning Model (OFM)

A

Participating in life roles brings a sense of self-efficacy and self-esteem

Goal of OFM is engagement in life roles

The assumption that ones ability to perform in life roles (areas of occupation) is based upon basic abilities and capacities (performance skills)
