Developmental Frame of Reference Inspired by Freud and Erikson Psychosexual Development & 8 Stages In growth-facilitating environments, children will develop skills of interdependence, qualitative and stage-specific Development of basic skills build upon each other at each stage Skills must be developed in proper order to create mature skills Age-appropriate sub-skills, when not properly acquired, result in dysfunction and symptom formation Function-dysfunction continuums for each sub-stage Participation between the individual and environment promote sequential development of mature skill
7 Basic Beliefsabout the Individual Each individual has the right to a meaningful existence; to an existence that allows one to be productive; to experience pleasure and joy; to love and be loved; and to live in surroundings that are safe, supportive, and comfortable. Each individual is influenced by stage-specific maturation of the species, the social nature of the species, and the cognitive structure of the species Each individual has inherent needs for work, play, and rest that must be satisfied in a relatively equal balance. Each individual has the right to seek his or her potential through personal choice within the context of some social constraints Each individual is only able to reach his or her potential through purposeful interaction with the human and nonhuman environment Each individual is only able to be understood within the context of his or her environment of family, community, and cultural group Occupational therapy is concerned with promoting functional independence through intervention directed toward facilitating participation in major social roles (occupational performances) and the development of the physical, cognitive, psychological, and social skills (performance components) that are fundamental to these roles. The extent to which intervention is focused on occupational performances or performance components is dependent on the needs of a particular client at any point in time.
