KAWA

I like the KAWA model of OT because it gives visual learners like myself metaphorical examples of a client's life, attributes, and obstacles. The KAWA model puts those aspects of a client's life in relatable terms, while still allowing variability from person to person on what their river, water, rocks, etc. are. In practice, I think the KAWA model would be easy to explain to clients because it uses terms that most everyone understands. This makes it a useful tool for getting info about each of our unique clients. Additionally, I like that it utilizes technology via a phone app; I think more MoPs should follow suit.

  1. I agree that other MoP need to step it up to make theory more accessible. Maybe a future project ... :)
