This methodological paper explains the process of occupational therapy
management of displaced persons due to disaster influence. It is yet to be part
of the occupational therapy practice domain even in recent decades with the
advancement in occupational therapy research evidence and development. It is
based on the current knowledge and developments in occupational therapy client
centered practice. This methodological and conceptual based study describes and
illustrates the occupational therapy practice model of rehabilitating displaced
persons due to disaster influence. The present paper explores the occupational
therapy role in rehabilitating displaced persons through People’s Environmental
Occupation, Ecology of Human Performance (EHP), and Occupational Therapy
Practice Framework. These are integrated as a single conceptual model to
describe how and process of occupational therapy practice area during the
rehabilitation process of a displaced person(s). The paper finally presented a
sequenced framework to guide occupational therapists practice in this new
emerging practice area of rehabilitation. This study was developed based on
three different theories to support the occupational therapy treatment process
of a displaced person due to disaster of any nature. Its concept based without
any statistical analysis.
