Participants will strengthen their connectedness to others and nature, build resilience through natural challenges. The program also aims to develop lifelong coping skills, promote healthy eating through garden-grown vegetables, and improve fine and gross motor skills using organic materials.
Individual Occupational Therapy
A comprehensive occupational therapy assessment will explore challenges in everyday tasks (occupations), with an initial focus on 2-3 selected occupational domains. Incorporating nature-based principles, such as gardening and other outdoor activities, this process will emphasize sensory health and connection with natural environments. Additional domains will be assessed as needed, based on emerging concerns. The assessment will include clinical interviews, direct observations, and standardized occupational therapy tools, fostering a holistic understanding of the individual’s needs.

Provide unique interventions in the natural environment and help to enhance spaces and places in order to foster a greater sense of well being.
