I appreciated the deliberate and not rushed presentation of this course. I also think that much of it can be applied to other topics. I think this was something that can be shared with many other disciplines And in the general community for successes.

This is definitely a promotional presentation for inclusion of kids with disabilities into community based,fun activities. Challenges thinking on how to include kids with special needs in sports or non-sports, but it did emphasize more physical/sport activities. I think it would have been helpful to mention some other program ideas and leisure exploration tools.

I really liked how there was consistent circling back for implications for practice and research as related directly to OT! For my OT grad capstone project I created a program for leisure/outdoor recreation exposure and access for at-risk youth to increase self-efficacy, physical strength etc., and tried to explain its importance and for improving QoL in clients as well as its relation to OT (including occupational justice). However, as a non-traditional area of practice, I think some current OTs were not as able to grasp the same sentiments. I hope to refer back to this course and related materials to continue justifying the program's continued implementation in the future! :) Awesome work!

It felt very introductory yet was labeled as an intermediate course. He would reference the sensory benefits or strategies for making leisure inclusive but not give any specifics which felt like an oversight into creating successful experiences. It felt more like a re-telling of his successes than actually giving you the tools needed to replicate these experiences in your own region.

Really good instructor with great examples of applying the concepts, inspiring stories. However, I felt frustrated with the exam. Some of the interventions" are missing [ie 3 and 5]. Not sure if the slide for intervention 3 and 5 is missing? I felt some of the questions did not properly reflect the lecture. Also confusing for the Tier 2 and 3 stuff taught before Tier 1. I feel the background material on which all the test was based could have been a little clearer as several of the test questions were confusing. Still I do feel motivated to apply principles with my older clients. I will be doing a volunteer mission trip to young adults with disabilities and hope to share some of these concepts with the place where I will be going, and this was the primary reason for my taking this class.
