- Outdoor Occupational Therapy is when OT sessions are conducted outside, preferably in a natural environment, offering many benefits. Practicing skills in a more familiar environment promotes skill acquisition and generalization.
- Outdoor OT enhances the use of play as an occupation through which children can learn valuable skills, including gross motor coordination and bilateral integration.
- The more natural the environment is, the more easily skills such as imaginary play and ideation can be addressed. Playing outdoors is often highly motivating for children and can enhance participation in therapeutic activities.
