Abstract

Horticulture Therapy is an integrated approach to human development using horticulture techniques with behavioral science. This paper attempts to present the results of the study to evaluate the impact of horticulture therapy in developing self-esteem and motor skills in physically challenged children. Fifty physically challenged children in the age group of 12-18 years were selected using purposive sampling. Motor skills of the children were studied using an observation schedule by inter observer agreement method. Assessment of self-esteem of the sample was done using a rating scale. The tools were constructed and standardized. Horticulture therapy included goal specific activities along with raising a vegetable garden. The data collected before and after horticulture therapy was analyzed using paired sample ‘t’ test. The results revealed that there is significant impact on the development of self-esteem and motor skills in challenged children after attending the horticultural therapy programme.
