What type of activities does the Remedial/Rehabilitative Model emphasize?

• A. Structured program activities and exercises
• B. Open-ended discussion only
• C. Individual therapy only
• D. No activities; only assessment

Answer: (A)

Structured activities and guided exercises are the focus of the Remedial/Rehabilitative Model, aimed at building or restoring functional skills. This approach targets remediation through planned tasks that address specific deficits in areas like daily living, social interaction, problem-solving, and work-related functions, with practice, repetition, and feedback to improve independence. It emphasizes active participation and skill-building within a structured program, rather than just talking or exploring feelings. Open-ended discussion alone misses the targeted practice component, and limiting the approach to therapy without structured activities or to no activities at all would not capture the model’s rehabilitation aim.
