What is Recreation Therapy?

 

Recreation Therapy, also known as therapeutic recreation, is a systematic treatment service designed to restore and rehabilitate a person's level of functioning and independence in life activities. 

 

Recreation therapy also assists individuals in restoring motor, social, and cognitive functioning, building confidence, developing coping skills, and integrating skills learned in a controlled treatment setting into a more natural community setting. 

 

Recreation therapy provides recreation and leisure education opportunities in order to improve health and well being.
