有關解釋多少人才是園藝治療活動的足夠量，我在投稿學術刊物時常被質疑人數太少!根據自己經驗讓園藝治療的 clients獲得最大效益應該是1對1! 這根本不需強調，就跟 1對1的英文或小提琴家教一樣! 我在認證課時都告訴園藝治療師 Number <10 為一個基準! 近日研讀書籍終於有一段對這議題說法如下:
" Limit the size of your horticulture therapy group to a manageable size. For most activities, there should be a
1:2 ratio of volunteers and staff to clients.(1對2) If there are too many clients, individuals will not receive enough attention and the experience will become confusing and frustrating.
所以您如果也和我一樣被質疑，請寫以下的參考文獻，也許有幫助解釋!
