Each glass panel represents some of the fundamental beliefs and values inherent in the OT profession. It's these values and beliefs which will help me as a future therapist to understand the heart of the profession, guide my clinical reasoning and practices, and in enhancing individual's functioning. Clear panel: Symbolises the holistic perspective, focusing on the whole person rather than a collection of functional/dysfunctional parts. Red panel (flower's core): Represents occupation as a therapeutic measure in exerting positive effects on health and wellbeing. Blue panels: Signify purposeful activity and its role in enhancing occupational performance. Pink panel: Relates to the premise of self-determination and maintaining active involvement of clients in therapy. Yellow panel: Draws from Adolf Meyer's (1922) perspective - reliance on the balance of human occupation for effective functioning. Green panel: Illustrates the importance of understanding concepts of disability/dysfunction from the client's perspective.
