With Beacon Therapies we will help familiarize you about this program and how this could benefit you.
Therapeutic Recreation (also sometimes referred to as Recreational Therapy), is a systematic process that utilizes recreation and other activity-based interventions to address the assessed needs of individuals with illnesses and/or disabling conditions, as a means to psychological and physical health, recovery, and well-being.
How Can This Program Benefit You?
The purpose of the Therapeutic Recreation process is to improve or maintain physical, cognitive, social, emotional and spiritual functioning in order to facilitate full participation in life. Recreational Therapy means a treatment service designed to restore, remediate and rehabilitate a person’s level of functioning and independence in life activities, to promote health and wellness as well as reduce or eliminate the activity limitations and restrictions to participation in life situations caused by an illness or disabling condition. Therapeutic Recreation Specialists will accomplish these goals by using a variety of techniques including arts and crafts, animals, sports, games, dance and movement, drama, music, and community outings. TR Specialists treat and help maintain the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of their clients by seeking to reduce depression, stress, and anxiety; recover basic motor functioning and reasoning abilities; build confidence; and socialize effectively.
