  What is Occupational Adaptation?It is a theoretical approach that was generated by faculty at Texas Women's University. It was in response to the reductionistic practice of occupational therapy. If you read a lot of the literature, in the '90s, the late '80s and even some in the '70s, occupational therapy scholars are saying that occupational therapists are practicing in a reductionistic manner because we have accommodated to a medical model practice. This theory was written in response to that to help therapists re-engage with the occupational therapy constructs and the core values that we started with as a profession. It was the theory base for the PhD program at TWU. This is how I became aware of the theory is in my master's and my doctoral studies. https://www.occupationaltherapy.com/articles/theory-occupational-adaptation-making-connections-3518
