ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode host Simone Dudley welcomes occupational therapists Arul Hamil and Lucy Charles from Auckland, New Zealand. They delve into the Occupational Performance Coaching (OPC) model, a transformative approach developed by Dr. Fiona Graham at Otago University. Arul and Lucy share their journey into the OPC space and highlight its profound impact on pediatric practice. The OPC framework emphasises the power of listening and empowering clients, focusing on three key components: connecting, structuring, and sharing. By prioritising the voices of children and families, OPC fosters meaningful participation and enriches therapeutic outcomes. Tune in to explore real-life case examples and discover how OPC can revolutionise rehabilitation by nurturing a collaborative and non-hierarchical relationship between therapists and clients.
