MOHO, the Model of Human Occupation, is the shared theoretical framework for the instruments AWC, AWP, WEIS and WRI.

Occupational therapy research aims to reduce obstacles to functioning in society and increase individuals’ opportunities for participating actively in their everyday situations irrespective of their disabilities.

The research includes children and young people with activity limitations in their everyday lives. This can be due to intellectual disabilities, ADHD, mobility impairments, or no specific diagnosis but with need of special support in school.

The instrument can be used both in research as a data collection instrument and as a clinically applied instrument in various activities. Several research projects linked to the instrument are currently underway.

The focus of the research field is work ability, and how this complex phenomenon can be assessed and understood as a basis for interventions.

How do young people with intellectual disabilities use internet to take part in everyday digital life and an ever more internet based society? We explores this question from the target group’s own perspective, using methods adapted for the purpose.

What obstacles are there in school? How do children with disabilities view participation? How does technology support influence school results? We develop the SSI interview instrument, in which children themselves identify their needs of adaptations.
