Recreational Therapy is a client-centred practice that recognises that leisure and recreational experiences are the right of all individuals.
Recreational Therapy practitioners work with people of all ages and abilities to design and facilitate leisure and recreation programmes. Activities are designed to support, challenge and enhance individuals’ psychological, spiritual, social, emotional and physical wellbeing.
The Recreational Therapist provides opportunities for individuals to participate in leisure and recreational activities that promote self-esteem and personal fulfilment. The Recreational Therapist facilitates individual client choice, decision making and participation when developing and managing recreational programmes.
