The value of enabling access to the leisure domain for improved health and well-being outcomes: a focus on powered wheelchair football.

27 Nov 2025
Theatre 2

As Occupational Therapists we understand the importance of engagement in meaningful activity and occupational balance is for achieving positive health and well-being outcomes for clients. However, often within OT roles there is a focus on the self-care and productivity occupational domains, due to influences such as service directives or pressures with time resources. It is important as occupational therapists and OT service providers that we recognise the place and value of leisure activities. If we are to enable positive health and well-being outcomes for our clients, we must ensure we are working holistically and enable access to meaningful activities across all occupational domains.

  • -understanding the value of the leisure domain in achieving a balance of occupations and how this contributes to positive health and well-being for clients.
  • -how the skills of the OT can be used within unique and diverse settings to support engagement within leisure activities.
  • -how OTs can be aware of constraints within practice settings that can limit holistic treatment.
  • -using indirect and alternative strategies to enable engagement in meaningful leisure activities for clients.
