Enabling the occupation “Enjoying music”:

A case study-using the Canadian Model of Client-centered Enablement

Abstract

Occupational therapy was carried out using CMCE with the client in order to enable him to “Enjoying music”. The client suffered from heart failure and cerebral infarction sequela. “Enjoying music” was very meaningful for him, as it lead to a connection with people from a different time, reinforced his identity, created a habit, and helped him forget his pain. Particularly, the foundations of “Client participation” and “Vision of possibilities” were significantly affected by his occupation. The skills “adapt”, “coordinate”, and “coach” were used to promote those foundations. Utilizing CMCE during occupational therapy can result in improved outcomes.
