The purpose of this case report is to clarify the factors by which Occupation-Centered Practice (OCP) contributed to the improvement of psychological aspects, activity, and participation in a child with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) in early childhood. The method included introducing a self-help drawing device. A total of six interventions were carried out once a month. Results showed improvements in drawing occupational performance, activity, participation, and psychological aspects. In conclusion, the adaptation of compensatory strategies and the utilization of the child's strengths were suggested as potential factors contributing to psychological improvements of AMC children in early childhood. Additionally, setting goals based on the parents' wishes, supporting the transition of drawing activities to everyday situations, and assisting mothers in recognizing the significance of their actions were suggested as potentially beneficial factors for promoting activities and participation.
