This course highlights the work of Timbernook and the types of play opportunities they have created to re-introduce outdoor play as a therapeutic model for occupational therapy. It provides excellent research findings and foundations that justify including outdoor play in our work, giving us a platform for introducing it into our therapy environments.

I am a school based COTA/L, and I have been working in the field of OT for 1 year. This seminar spoke to me as I have seen decreased upper body tone that affects writing ect. Today's lesson only indicated that this is the tip of the iceberg and I want to learn more! I am so motivated to implement some of these strategies with my own students. Thank you so much for a fantastic, eye opening, experience that I had little knowledge of.

As a child, the woods were my playground. As a mother; I left my kids "run wild" in the woods. Now as a grandmother I'm afraid I've become kinda like a "helicopter" grandparent. This course reminded me to ease up a bit with my grandkids playing.

I love that this idea is gaining traction and movement. I have my own children outside playing in the woods often, including my child with special needs and she is capable of so much more physically just by playing in the woods, climbing trees and walking on rock walls. I am excited about the idea of incorporating this into the therapeutic environment.

Absolutely grateful for this course and the advocating for outdoor play especially in sensory rich forest environment. This course reminds us of the benefits: physiologically, mentally, cognitively, socially that "true play" outdoors provides to our developing children; it discusses many critical skills that are negatively impacted by the reduction of outdoor play for children (and yes, adults too). Very interested in TimberNook as well!
