Recreation Therapy promotes quality of life for children and youth with physical disabilities or acquired brain injury, and their families, by increasing access to recreation as part of a life-long healthy lifestyle.
How we Help:
The aim of Recreation Therapy is to teach life-long leisure skills and attitudes by:
-
Increasing awareness of resources related to recreation in their home, school and community
-
Teaching skills to enhance participation in recreation activities
-
Introducing adapted equipment for trial and use in recreation activities
-
Providing opportunities to try new recreation activities of interest
-
Working with community service providers to increase opportunities for children and youth who have a disability
