Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool

The Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool (MOHO-ST) is a brief, clinician-administered interview-based assessment grounded in the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) theoretical framework. Developed by Parkinson, Forsyth, and Kielhofner (2006), the MOHO-ST screens for occupational participation and motivation across four key dimensions: volition (interests, values, personal causation), habituation (roles and routines), performance capacity, and environmental supports/barriers. The MOHO-ST is used in occupational therapy across mental health, physical rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation, and community practice to quickly assess occupational functioning and identify areas for intervention.
