Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E)
The Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E) was developed by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists in 1997. It describes transactions and mutual influences between the dimensions of occupational performance. The main model illustrates the relationship between person, occupation and environment. Spirituality is the fourth dimension, placed in the centre of the model, to highlight its fundamental importance.
