Content: There is little need for further adaptation if the person finds the occupational response assessment positive. However, if the overall assessment result is negative, the integration subprocess communicates the information to the person, to begin the process of adaptation. Function - Dysfunction continuum
The inability to generate an appropriate adaptive response as a result of personal factors or environmental factors could lead to dysfunction. Imbalance between the desire and demand for mastery could lead to inability to adapt to an occupational challenge, therefore dysfunction. Dysfunction also occurs when challenges exceed the person's capacity to adapt. The more adaptive the individual, the more functional. Implications for Practice
