Recreational therapists employ leisure activities to help clients with disabilities through the use of games, sports, crafts, outdoor activities, and more. In doing this, they also help clients integrate into their community via group activities.
Duties
To assess client needs, recreational therapists consider medical records, personal observation and talks with the client and team. They then execute a therapeutic program targeted toward what that client requires most. This can entail a variety of activities, so therapists need to keep current on communal and therapeutic resources available to best help their clients. Therapists also document a client's progress during their activities.
