PODCAST REVIEW: Nature Based Therapy
I really enjoyed this podcast because I felt like it drew on my background in recreation therapy. Finding ways to integrate my two degree in my work as a therapist is something I aim to achieve. The podcast discussed using the outdoors for pediatric referrals and children who are struggling with hand writting specifically. I think at some point in my career it would be great to find ways to use nature based therapy with other populations. Possibly a modified version with geriatric populations. I really enjoyed this podcast because it highlighted a new approach to OT that I had not considered!
TEDTALK REVIEW: Universal design
Universal design. This is a concept that I did not realize had a defined name and I love it! Universal design is the idea that product should be designed with all abilities in mind. I love this because again it makes me think of my undergraduate degree in recreation therapy and all the bikes, kayaks, and various sports equipment I spent hours adjusting and modifying for specific individual use. I love the idea that we are moving or at least creating awareness about the need to move in the direction of creating this EVERYONE can use.
