Our web site will still help you in three ways. You will be able to purchase resources to help you at work and at home, you will be able to access our three free journals, and you will be able to contact our staff for answers to questions you might have.
Idyll Arbor's primary mission is to improve the quality of health care provided to clients by providing quality information and resources to practitioners. One way in which we provide this information is through our over 200 products. We carry books, games, assessments and video/audio supplies. Access these products through our Topics or Resources pages. You may also access resources directed toward specific Professions.
Our free, on-line journals, collectively called Idyll Arbor’s Journals of Practice (IAJP), cover three different occupational and topic groups: Recreational Therapy, Activity Professionals and Chemical Dependency. Each journal accepts three types of contributions: Articles, Notes on Practice and comments. The material presented in IAJP will be rotated off the web page and saved to be published periodically in a paper format. These discipline specific volumes will be available for purchase through Idyll Arbor, Inc.
A Guide to Published Articles in Recreational and Adjunctive Therapies is also available. The Guide is designed to give the reader easy access to information published in 16 Therapeutic Recreation and Adjunctive Therapy journals from 1967 to 2004. Searches can be made by author, subject, journal and date.
Idyll Arbor, Inc. is both a publishing house and a consulting firm. Our consultants, editors and authors are some of the best in their fields. We are known throughout North America as a company which carries practical products — books, audio, video, testing tools, posters, games and consultation — that the professional can use in his/her everyday practice. We can do this because we are practitioners who still work with patients as well as being product developers. We try out our products before we offer them to you. In addition to providing quality materials, Idyll Arbor also provides consultation services for activities, therapy departments and facility management.
Idyll Arbor, Inc. is unique because our practitioners talk with other practitioners across the country on a regular basis. We hear about trends in Joint Commission, CARF, NCQA and HCFA surveys as they are happening. Professionals know that they can contact our professional staff and ask about programs, products and techniques which have worked for other therapists across the United States and Canada. We hope this web site will help your practice. Please feel free to contact us with suggestions for making our site more useful for you.
Robert Morgan teaches you how to have a personal encounter with a Forest Giant (Bigfoot).
From the Introduction:
Yah-ta-hey. Welcome! May I assume that you are interested in Forest Giants and wish to arrange your very own peaceful encounter? I won’t tell you that it is easy. Nevertheless, it is possible and even probable — but only if you follow to the letter the systematic suggestions contained within this manual.
Take care, my friend. This journey is not for everyone. It is best taken by special people who wish to contribute something positive toward making our world a better place, not only for the human species, but also for every living thing.
If you choose to proceed, as kindred adventurers you and I must form an immutable bond. If you ask that, I assume that you sincerely wish to stand face-to-face with that wondrous legend some call the Bigfoot or the Sasquatch. In return, you may assume that I can and will share certain things of value that can assist you to achieve that goal.
My sole request is that, in exchange for my counsel, you must promise on your most sacred honor that you will not attempt to kill, capture, harass, or to interfere in any way with the lives and the welfare of these gentle Giants.
Words of caution are in order. To be successful you must remain true to that promise. If you do not, things might not turn out the way you wish — and turn out in ways you cannot imagine. However, by shining the light of good intention into the deepest recesses of your own mind and soul, you may soon be poised to uncover the truth about many, many things — and your life will forever change.
