Mary Dickson

Mary Dickson, Occupational Therapist, was first introduced to VdTMoCA in 2006 and from that time has sought to implement it in her practice and embed it into services she has been involved with, including medium secure and tier 4 CAMHS. Mary values the practical application alongside the theoretical underpinning of the model, enabling clear clinical reasoning and justification of Occupational Therapy. Mary was motivated to join the Foundation in order to support other occupational therapy services in getting started with the VdTMoCA and to support further development in the use of the model. Mary is now working in a Specialist CAMHS and continues to promote and develop VdTMoCA in her own practice.

    Opportunities for networking

    In terms of ideas for the new website, does anyone have any ideas around creating opportunities for networking - particularly around interacting with clinicians working within a similar field of practice. We have opportunities for those within forensic services through the Special Interest Group (SIG) - however, I am just mindful of clinicians working other areas, or perhaps those working in isolation. 

    How could we create opportunities to interact remotely? 

    Look forward to hearing your thoughts. 

    Tori.

About

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.
