Do-Live-Well Framework

        The Do-Well framework emphasizes that "what you do everyday matters." What you do isn't just important because you enjoy it, but because it contributes to your well-being. It is compromised of the following four sections: dimensions of experience, activity patterns, health and wellbeing outcomes, and forces influencing activity engagement. Regardless of your age or limitations, you are entitled to occupations that you enjoy.
        Because this framework broadly addresses the importance of occupations, it can be applied to any population across the lifespan. To be functional according to this FoR, the client would be regularly engaging in their desired occupations with no physical, mental, social, or emotional interference. 
        An OT might use this framework as a guide to decipher the "missed dimensions of experience" that interfere with wellbeing. It is used to increase opportunities to access activities in the environment. An OT might assess intrinsic and extrinsic factors involving the client's cognition, past experiences, and even physical abilities to determine what obstacles might be preventing a client from performing occupations and then determine how to improve them. Key terms associated with the Do-Well-Theory are activity engagement, well-being, and dimensions of experience.
