"Using Environments to Enable Occupational Performance" provides
state of the art information on theoretical and practical aspects
of the environment crucial to enabling occupation. This book fills
an important gap in the occupational therapy literature. It
provides a much-needed language and structure for occupational
therapy's examination and use of environmental resources in
practice and research, and is recommended as a key resource for
both." — Mary Egan, Revue Canadienne D'Ergotherapie
"It provides invigorating reading for experienced practitioners and
educators, like myself, and inspiration for students and younger
practitioners who have discovered roadblocks to occupational
performance narrowly focused on the individual occupational issues,
and their immediate environment. Using Environments to Enable
Occupational Performance is a scholarly and comprehensively
referenced book guiding readers to the sources of evidence that
support each chapter. The accessibility of the content is enhanced
by explicit chapter titles and an engaging style, making this book
one you will want to return to on a regular basis." -- Glenys
French, Australian Occupational Therapy Journal
