Recreational Therapy Activities Framework
Sessions start out as 1:1 and can develop to become group-based, depending on the recreational therapy activity and client preference. A typical session ranges from 60-120 minutes and includes indoor and outdoor activities based on the client’s lifestyle and interests. Your therapist will lead you through interventions that are challenging but leave you feeling mentally and/or physically stronger and accomplished.
