LISA MC CALLUM and Occupational Therapy with Nature

I am an Occupational therapist and am passionate about OT. I have been practicing OT for 30 years, and use the power of nature in my OT therapy program.

Occupational Therapy is a health profession that helps individuals engage in daily activities – such as self-care, work, and leisure by improving their skills and adapting their environments.

Occupational therapy focuses on enhancing independence and quality of life for people of all ages facing physical, mental,social, educational or developmental challenges.

Occupational Therapy helps you to overcome the barriers that prevent you from doing the occupations that are part of your daily life. An Occupational Therapist can help you live life to its fullest no matter your health condition, disability, of risk factors. Occupational Therapy is a client-centered,allied health profession, concerned with promoting health and well being.

Occupational therapy uses everyday life activities (occupations) to promote health, well-being, and ability to participate in the important activities in your life.

Occupational Therapy with Nature, is Occupational Therapy with the use of nature When using nature, therapy no longer seems like therapy, but rather an enjoying and fun time. This is one of the many reasons that I use nature in therapy.

 Occupational Therapists work with people and communities to improve their ability to do the occupations they would like to do, need or expected to do. Occupational Therapist receive education in many different fields, including medical, psychosocial, social, psycological and behavioural training. Enabling them to work with a vast majority of disabilities, in sessions that can be individual, family or groups.

Occupational Therapy gives people the “skills for the job of Living”,

necessary for “living life to its fullest”.
