This presentation will propose a new model for understanding occupation which foregrounds sensory health as contingent on the emplacement of prereflective perceptual orientations. Recent evidence from neuroscience, humanistic geography, anthropology, and occupational science will be discussed in light of the philosophical work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty to explain the model. The model presents a unique lens to understand occupation which moves away from a reductionist portrayal of sensory health to a holistic one that acknowledges the richness and temporality of everyday experience. Implications for therapy and clinical practice will be discussed.
