The Vona du Toit Model of Creative Ability (VdTMoCA) is an occupational therapy practice model originating from South Africa. The model as presented by Van der Reyden et al (2019), is founded upon the theory of creative ability developed by Vona du Toit (occupational therapist) in the 1960s and early 1970s. The term ‘creative’ does not refer to artistic flair but to one’s ability to bring into existence something that did not exist before – one’s ability to bring about change within oneself and in one’s world.
