  • Recreational Therapy (RT), also known as theraputic recreation, is a systemic 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. The purpose is to improve or maintain physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual functioning in order for the patient to participate and maintain optimal levels of independence, productivity, well-being, and quality of life. Recreational Therapy can help to reduce depression, stress, anxiety in clients while helping them build confidence and appropriately socialize in their community.

    How is Recreational Therapy different from other therapies?

  • RT uses recreational modalities such as arts and crafts, animals, sports, games, dance and movement, drama, music, and community outings for the use of treatment.
  • RT incorporates the client’s interests and the client’s family and/or community to make the therapy process more meaningful and relevant.
  • RT’s weave the concept of healthy living into treatment to ensure not only improved functioning, but also to enhance independence and successful involvement in all aspects of life.

    We are excited to have added an RT to our Kidz at Play Therapy team. She has previous experience working with adolecents with psychiatric disorders, autism, and mental health disorders.
