The children's play model is a MoP theory that focuses on the idea that playing is the main occupation and is very necessary for children's growth. The main idea behind this theory is that play is the primary occupation of children and healthy play is required for children and their developmental skills. Children should functionally be able to play, be creative, communicate and construct different ideas. This theory would be used in children with any disability and anywhere where they would normally play. Some things that the OT might measure or assess when using this theory would be developmental skills such as communication, organization, effectiveness, self-concept, symbolism skills or abilities, creativity, concentration, and problem solving. Three 3 terms associated with this theory are as follows:
Occupation: Everyday activities people do as individuals, in families, and with communities to occupy time and bring meaning and purpose to life
Development: The process in which someone or something grows or changes and becomes more advanced
Cognitive: The act or process of knowing; of or relating to the mental process of perception, memory, judgment, and reasoning
