These are examples of reasoning that is
present in the ReDO- programme and that if
the ValMO-model is applied, may be used in
many additional occupational therapy
interventions. And here comes my second
challenge: to what extent do the reasoning
underlying in the VaMO-model appeal to
people in gene ral and OTs, outside the
Swedish context? Is the model generaliza-
ble since it focuses on a way of describing
and communicating occupation without,
e.g., framing cultural norms and routines?
More specifically it is interesting if the mod-
el may enable understanding of individu-
als’ doing and what shapes it, in other
contexts? It seems like the ValMO-model
can be useful for OTs in other countries. To
what extent it is useful in more deviant cult-
ures is yet to explore?
So, going back to the introduction, I am
honoured by the Icelandic OTs who tra-
velled to Canada to do the ReDO-training. I
hope that their initiative is the start of a
continuing knowledge exchange and
development of the ReDO- programme,
and the ValMO-model, internationally.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
