Title: The Ludic Model
Description: Professor Ferland offers The Ludic Model as a method of occupational therapy for physically restricted children. Play is approached in terms of attitude and not simply as an activity. It is understood as a privileged path by which children can be encouraged towards holistic development, while discovering pleasure through their own capacity to act. This book is based on a key concern that children with disabilities be seen as children first and foremost.

The model presented is equally applicable to a home or therapeutic setting and strives not only to encourage optimal autonomy, but also to facilitate a satisfying quality of life for the whole family.
