Recreation Therapy/Programs
Recreational therapy enhances the physical, cognitive, emotional, social and leisure development of the individual so they may participate fully and independently in their life pursuits. Incorporating client's interests, and the client's family and/or community makes the therapy process meaningful and relevant. Recreational therapy is extremely individualized to each person, their past, present and future interests and lifestyle. The recreational therapist has a unique perspective regarding the social, cognitive, physical, and leisure needs of the patient. Recreational therapists weave the concept of healthy living into treatment to ensure not only improved functioning, but also to enhance independence and successful involvement in all aspects of life.
