Abstract: This presentation examines the character Edward Scissorhands, a young adult with hand deformities and poor social skills, through the lens of the Ecological Human Performance Model.
Client Description: Edward Scissorhands Occupation Based Models Model Choice - EHP
Age: Young adult Occupational Adaptation Model Ecological Human Performance Model Justification: Gender: Male Major Theorists: Major Theorists: • Schkade and Schultz (1992) • Edward changed contexts during the movie that challenged his Diagnosis: Hand deformities & poor social skills • Winnie Dunn (1994) performance range and created new roles Challenges: Model Focus: Model Focus: • Edward’s change in context drastically affected his life • Edward faces challenges with his occupations such as ADLs • Interaction between the individual and their occupational • The influence of contexts on task performance • As the EHP model considers the context to be one of the most • e.g. Edward has trouble eating peas with his hands environment • The task, person, context, and transaction influential factors in a person’s performance range, this provided • Edward has poor social skills, emotional regulation, and • Adaptive capacity & relative mastery • Person’s variables determine a person’s performance range an adequate way to analyze Edward coping skills • Nature vs. nurture? Major Assumptions: Major Assumptions : • Occupations provide constant opportunity to adapt. • Behavior is best examined by looking at the relationship between the Ecology of Human Performance Model Family: • A person’s adaptive capacity can be overwhelmed by a variety of person, task, and context in a holistic way • Edward’s first family unit was his creator who died factors • Occupational performance occurs when the person uses their skills • Edward lived alone in his castle until he was taken in by a • Success in performance is a direct result of one’s ability to adapt and abilities to engage within their context woman named Peggy • Performance range depends on the person and the contextual features • Edward’s family became Peggy and her family How does this Model “view” Edward?: • The view of the person from this model’s perspective is seen as a How does this Model “View” Edward?: Culture: holistic being within an environment that demands adaptation to • Through a holistic lens within his different contexts • American 1950s suburban culture. continuously occur • Gossip-driven community Strengths of the Model for Edward : Routines: Strengths of the Model for Edward: • Edward’s change in context opened up new tasks which created new • Sleep, eat, socialize, work • A person has a need to adapt to their environment or new roles for him within his performance range Roles: situation • Son, brother, hairdresser, neighbor, Challenges of the Model for Edward : friend, landscaper, hair-dresser Challenges of the Model for Edward: • Edward’s person variables didn’t match his contextual features. This • Edward experienced dysfunction because his adaptive capacity created a lack in his occupational performance leading to Occupations: was overwhelmed dysfunction • Cutting hair, cutting dogs hair, lawn maintenance, ice sculpting (Bachman, 2016) (Schultz & Schkade, 1992) (Dunn et. al, 1994) (Dunn et. al, 1994) (AOTA, 2014)
EHP: Function/Dysfunction EHP: Change and Motivation EHP: Evaluation Process Intervention Guidelines
Function: How Does Change Occur? Focus of Evaluation: Strategies:
• Large performance range • Clients recognize their desires and needs to become motivated • To understand the current role(s), desired tasks, and skills of the • Directly ask Edward what his goals are • Person’s ability matches the expectations of contexts and to change client and how the environment is impacting each of these • Empower Edward to be an agent of change roles • Agent of change: the role of the client to make independent characteristics • Respect Edward’s opinions and provide contexts where he feels decisions to engage in meaningful task included rather than different Edward’s Strengths: An evaluator should seek to understand: • Edward regains control over his own life Motivators for Edward: • Once in neighborhood, Edward’s role increased. • Client’s priorities Guidelines: • Barber now he is around others to cut hair • Need to independently perform activities of daily living (such • Client’s skills as dressing, feeding, and grooming) • Client’s perception of how the task should be performed • Establish/Restore: Dysfunction: • Desire to fulfill purposeful roles as a functional member of • Client’s natural setting • Social skills training to increase society Edward’s performance range • Limited task performance range • Strong interest in artistic and creative tasks Questions to Consider: Edward’s needs or weaknesses: • Praise and approval from others • Adapt/Modify: • Acceptance and belonging in his community 1. What tasks are you interested in doing? What is most important • Adding tips to the edge of the scissors to protect him from • At start of movie, his roles and range were non-existent due to you? cutting himself to the isolation 2. How do you think those tasks should be done? • Creating attachments to add to his hands (Dunn et. al, 1994) (Cole & Tufano, 2008) • i.e. forks, comb, hook (Dale et. al, 2002) (Cole & Tufano, 2008)
