When It Is Used
Use it outside or between sessions when the client can create a visual account that will later support therapeutic discussion.
Digital Kawa River Builder
Digital Kawa River Builder is a digital client-generated visual formulation tool for occupational therapy. Practitioners send it so clients can express everyday life story, life flow, obstacles, personal factors, environmental context, and possible openings for change in a shareable river form outside or between sessions.
Preview the builder, review a sample artifact, and save this tool to share with clients.

Accessibility
Non-drawing interactions may support clients who cannot draw digitally, as long as the result remains a visual river artifact with the same component meaning.
Is the visual artifact the main result?
Yes. The completed digital Kawa river artifact is the primary result, with labels or descriptions as supporting detail.
Can clients save and resume?
Yes. The builder should preserve progress and allow recovery from interruption.
Does every component have to be included?
No. The artifact should not force every possible component if the client’s account does not include it.
What gets saved?
The fixed Digital Kawa River Builder tool is saved. Demo artifacts and sample labels are not saved as real client data by default.
