The environements are not contrived because of the participatory aspect of
the clients I work with. When I and the staff I work with begin to 'invent'
learning environments we fail at providing learning experiences. This is why
I earlier stated that contrived environments provide no learning experiences.
 If a client is unwilling to participate in the 'model'; what good is it?
