What is the goal of the "create/promote" intervention approach?

The goal of the "create/promote" intervention approach is primarily to introduce new activities to clients in a way that fosters skill development and participation in a variety of contexts. This approach is grounded in the belief that by creating opportunities and promoting engagement in different activities, clients can expand their capacities and enhance their overall quality of life.

In this approach, the focus is on building the skills needed for new occupations or adapting environments to support those activities, rather than solely reacting to existing challenges. This proactive stance encourages creativity in occupational therapy and promotes the development of new roles and routines, which is essential for overall well-being and integration into community life.

While other approaches may focus on enhancing function, restoring abilities, or assessing satisfaction, "create/promote" specifically encourages the introduction of new activities to help clients explore and achieve their goals, enhancing their engagement and satisfaction in life.
