Sherwood, W. (2017) The Vona du Toit Model of Creative Ability: A practical guide to occupational therapy for people with learning disabilities. London. Vona du Toit Model of Creative Abilty Foundation (UK).
ISBN: 978-1-9997797-0-2
This is the first book dedicated to the application of the Vona du Toit Model of Creative Ability (VdTMoCA) to occupational therapy for people with learning disabilities.
Having set out the theoretical parameters of the Model and the context for occupational therapy in the field of learning disabilities, the authors share their experiences of VdTMoCA informed occupational therapy through reflections, practice-based case examples, and tips on how to make a start with learning, embedding and implementing the Model. As indicated by its title, this book aims to provide occupational therapists and their support workers with a practical guide to applying the VdTMoCA in practice, providing a range of resources to copy and use. Accompanied by key literature on the Model, this book will also be a valuable learning resource for occupational therapy students and educators.

Feb 09, 2020 by ToriRead moreIn 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.

Mar 25, 2020 by ToriRead moreHi Lou,
Thank you for creating this discussion. Within the high/medium/low secure hospitals I work in, we have at present ceased all off ward activity and stopped all Section 17 Leave – which I imagine will cause frustration for those who have progressed to lengthy periods of either escorted/unescorted period of leave from the service. We have developed programmes that can be delivered at ward level, whilst still maintaining the principles of social distancing. I think the focus across all services at the moment is supporting the ward staff and maintaining some consistency for the service users. We have circulated "easy read" documents for service users around information on COVID-19, detailing information on how to keep themselves safe and well, hygiene procedures and information to reduced anxiety. The staff have also distributed resources to promote ideas around self directed activities and visual materials around keeping occupied and engaged in meaningful activity whilst self isolating. In the MSU, the Therapy Staff have developed resources to be used on the wards to support service users in keeping busy and have completed a revised interest checklist document.
We have also circulated easy read letters to the patients to notify them of any treatment groups that have had to be postponed to help manage their expectations and reduce anxiety.
At the moment, everything seems to be changing frequently and there is a lot of uncertainty. However, it has been positive to see how supportive, creative, flexible and committed staff have been during this time.Thanks,
Tori
