Contributions of DIA
Over a decade spent in development
Model increases our understanding of cognitive
processing and behavioral principles and their
relationships to task and occupational performance
Facilitates view of cognitive processing as dynamic
where multiple functions work together
Supports the use of meaningful activity as method
for improving cognitive processing
It provides a holistic, non-reductionistic view
It is consistent with occupation-based and clientcentered philosophies
