Description
  • The Therapeutic Recreation Team provides accessible leisure, educational and personal development activities for individuals with disabilities through mainstreaming and adaptive programs.

    Therapeutic Recreation programs are specifically designed for individuals with disabilities. Groups are usually small and the participant-to-staff ratio is appropriate to the needs of the group. The activities are planned to meet the interests of the participants and can be individualized. Exercise classes, craft classes, children's activities, social clubs for specific disabilities, camps, trips, dances and special events are available.

    General programs and activities are available to suit all ages, interests, and skill levels. Activities include swimming classes, craft classes, trips, camps, children's programs, special events, and varied offerings every season.

    A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids and services, but the structure of the activity, group size, and staff remain the same. Staff typically are not able to provide one-to-one assistance or specialized attention. To accommodate special needs, individuals with disabilities may request a mainstream companion. Sign language interpreters, braille or large print, other auxiliary aids and services are also available by request.
