** MOHO is a practice model designed to provide theory along with practical tools and strategies for occupational therapy and related rehabilitation practice. ** MOHO concepts focus on how people are motivated toward their occupations (i.e., work, play, and self care), how they learn and sustain occupational patterns in life, and how they engage in physical, cognitive, and social action. ** MOHO also focuses on the importance of the environment on occupation. MOHO emphasizes that through therapy persons are helped to engage in doing things that maintain, restore, reorganize, or develop their capacities, motives, and lifestyles.
