A survey was undertaken in 2013 of 70 OT’s, support workers, managers and educators to gain up to date perspectives of the VdTMoCA. The aims were to: identify fields of practice the model was used, gain insight into the perspectives of the use and value of the model, identify needs for development of the model and identify areas for research. Findings indicated the model is highly valued for enabling effective practice, specifically for individuals that OT’s find challenging to engage and for enabling justification and promotion of OT. However, there were also some evident limitations including, terminology not always user friendly, it takes a long time to learn and there is a lack of rigorous research.
