Content: For whom and where is MOHO applied in practice? MOHO is intended for use with any person experiencing problems in their occupational life and is designed to be applicable across the life span. For example, MOHO has been applied with such diverse groups as adults with chronic pain, children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, persons with traumatic brain injury, older persons with dementia, persons living with AIDS, and adolescents with mental illness. It has also been applied in situations dealing with children and adults who are homeless, with battle-fatigued soldiers, and with victims of war and social injustice. MOHO is also used in a variety of contexts. For example, it has been applied in hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential facilities, nursing homes, rehabilitation programs, work programs, prisons and correctional settings, and community based organizations. Are there resources to apply this model in practice? A major emphasis of MOHO is developing resources for its application in practice. The resources (e.g., case examples, manuals, articles, documented programs) for applying this model are extensive. More than 20 assessments have been developed for use with this model.
