Wii gaming appeals to people who are not tradditional gamers because it allows the participants to become more actively involved. Wii gaming is used as a therapeutic tool.
The Wii can be used in occupational therapy by helping clients with their range of movement, regaining their muscle strength etc.
The Wii is also an usefull tool not only as a intervention but also as a assessment. The Wii gaming can allow the therapist to observe the clients to see what their abilities are currently.

How to make a digital photo badge:
Digital photo badges allow for various digital images to be arranged together into a shape. An array of images can fit into the badge. In order to make a badge I went onto the photo sharing website "Flickr" (http://www.flickr.com). Once logged into this website I uploaded the photos that I wanted on my badge. I saved these photos and then clicked on the tools tab. Once on the tools page, I clicked the slogan that said "Hey! Where's the badge?" I then had the option to choose a HTML badge or a flash badge. Once I chose the format I wanted I chose how many items I wanted on my flash badge, what size I wanted the badge to be and the orientation of the pictures. A preview was then showed and a copy of the HTML code was also provided. I then copied this code onto my blogger page and the badage appeared.
