Creative Ability OT Model

Dedicated to sharing information on the Vona du Toit Model of Creative Ability (VdTMoCA) (Van der Reyden et al, 2019), which is an occupational therapy practice model explaining the inseparable relationship between volition, motivation and action. The VdTMoCA is a useful model for enabling people to use, develop and/or recover their motivation and ability for everyday life, whether experiencing ill-health, trauma, dysfunction, disability (any diagnosis) or in wellness.

In the UK, the VdTMoCA is used across age groups, predominantly in services for people with learning disabilities and/or mental health problems, and is particularly favoured in forensic services. A forthcoming book for publication in January 2021 also details the Model's relevance for Stroke rehab, dementia,  in seclusion, alongside sensory approaches, and more.
