Strength-based approaches lead to increased self-efficacy and self-determination, which enhances continued occupational performance. The Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) provides a framework to understand the strengths of children, their families, and the environment, which serves as a foundation to develop strength-based intervention plans.

Case examples highlight practical strategies to apply MOHO principles in occupational therapy practice with children and youth.
