Adapting Activities |
Identifying and reducing
an individual’s
barrier(s) to leisure pursuits is one of the most unique
responsibilities
of activity professionals and recreational therapists
and an area of great importance in the revised CMS Activities
Guidance to Surveyors. Often times, we have to adapt/alter
activities or the situation to make the activities more
accessible to people who have limitations in skill due
to physical, cognitive or social impairments. There are
many benefits to adapting activities. To learn more, click here.

Therapeutic Recreation Month
Just a Reminder
The National Therapeutic Recreation Society established National Therapeutic Recreation Week in 1984. This special week has been celebrated during the second week of July annually since then. ATRA resumed responsibility and has deemed the month of February as Therapeutic Recreation Month. If you haven’t planned anything yet. I have some goodies that will make celebrating this month, easy peasy.
