The Canadian Model of Occupational Performance (with permission from Townsend 1997)

SPIRITUALITY.
From the perspective of the Canadian Model the term 'spirituality' refers to the uniqueness of every individual a team will work with, regardless of the similarity of their disabilities (Townsend 1997). It therefore prevents the team from focusing purely on the disability rather than on the person who has the disability, therefore relying as much on interactive reasoning as on diagnostic reasoning (Fleming 1991). In acknowledging the person's uniqueness, the therapist is appreciating 'thier intrinsic value, (and) respecting thier beliefs, values and goals, regardless of ability, age, or other characteristics' (Townsend 1997, p.42).

The model therefore places the person at the heart of the intervention process (refer to the figure) and defines the need to fully engage in partnership with the individual to see what occupations are meaningful to them, therefore not making assumptions about what is relevant or not to the person, and certainly not being prescriptive about what they might or might not enjoy and get pleasure out of (Townsend 1997).
