The Art and Science of Motivation: A Therapist’s Guide to Working with Children

Placing motivation at the heart of all encounters and therapeutic activities, this book presents a groundbreaking, evidence-based model for working with children, including those with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and emotional and behavioural difficulties.

Drawing on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the authors describe this innovative paradigm – the model of Synthesis of Child, Occupational Performance and Environment – in Time (SCOPE-IT) – and explain how it can be used to sustain the child’s motivation and active involvement in the therapeutic process. They suggest ways of using language and of structuring and working with the environment to maximise engagement and autonomy and achieve the best possible treatment outcomes. The challenges professionals may face when working with children are also clearly addressed, and engaging case studies and photographs place the key theoretical concepts in a richly human and personal context.

Combining accessible theory with a wealth of tools and strategies for practice, this book is essential reading for all those working therapeutically with children, including occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists and psychotherapists.

The Inspiration

From a very young age, Mr. Shawn Coleman has had the opportunity to meet high profile individuals locally and globally. He met the greatest basketball player to have ever lived, rubbed shoulders with world renowned musicians, and was surrounded with a village of people that included family, friends, and other incredible individuals from different walks of life. Though Shawn struggled with some serious personal issues as a young man, he never passed up the chance to interview the successful people he was around and he always inquired about their journey to success. As he got older and began to research other successful people, he noticed 10 ingredients that were being used by nearly every successful person he spoke to. After seven years of meeting with popular people and studying the practices and behaviors of other successful people, Mr. Coleman wrote this book to help other people on the road to success regardless of the time period. He illustrates each ingredient of success by using real life inspirational stories that give each chapter their own individual character that are brought to life. Readers will find this short text to be just as powerful as other famous self-help books but they will discover different intimate treasures that are applicable to their own individual goals and desires and not generalized to every reader. More success awaits you…

Give a Gift That Will Change Your Life Forever.

Give Yourself or Someone You Love, The Gift of Affirmations…

You will not achieve fulfillment and happiness until YOU become the architect of your own reality. Imagine that with a few moments each day, you could begin the powerful transformation toward complete control of your own life and well being through positive affirmation. Because you can.

You will be able to release all fear and doubt simply because you know that you can. Utilize this simple, proven technique to regain the lost comforts of joy, love, and fulfillment in your life.

You have the ability to unlock your full inner-potential and achieve your ultimate goals. This is the age-old secret of the financial elite, world class scholars, and Olympic champions. For example, when you watch the Olympics, you’ll find one consistency in all of the champions. Each one closes their eyes for a moment and clearly affirms & visualizes themselves completing the event flawlessly just before starting. Then they win gold medals and become champions. That’s merely one example of how the real power of affirmation can elevate you above any of life’s challenges.

Life is too short to be exhausted on thousands of everyday anxieties and fears. Sadly, the average person will get to the end of their life and realize that more than half of it was spent struggling with these kind of problems. Because they didn’t know what to do, many of these people never found any satisfaction in life. You can and will become bigger than those struggles by enhancing the energy that already flows within you.

Too often people are held hostage and limited by a cycle of negative thinking and pessimism. This kind of thinking creates a streak of what many choose to call, “bad luck”. I have good news for you. There is no such thing as “bad luck”. This phenomenon is merely a cycle of negative affirmation that must be broken and mended with a fresh regimen of positive affirmation and vision. By repeating and remembering these affirmations in times of difficulty, we transform our rigid affirmations of defeat and intimidation into warm, confident manifestations of the world as we choose it to be.

Get what you want and desire from the world like millions of others around the globe using affirmations. You already possess the power to assert your own perceptions and transform your thoughts and desires into reality. By using positive affirmations daily, you will unlock that natural potential inside of you.

If you want to see positive change now, you’ll find the quickest path to fulfillment with positive affirmation and visualization. There is no time to spend on loss, negativity, and defeat when you can be achieving tangible, historically proven results with minimum time and effort invested.

There is no limit to changes that can be made through the power of creating truth with affirmation…
