We believe that Therapeutic Recreation (TR) is an umbrella term that includes services of:

• Recreational Therapy,
• Leisure Education,
• Adaptive Recreation,
• Special Recreation,
• and Inclusive Recreation.

All of the services involve the processes of assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation and are directed by individuals certified as a CTRS by the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification (www.nctrc.org).

The purposes of therapeutic recreation are two-fold:

1. To improve an individual's functional skills so they optimally experience recreation and leisure,
2. To utilize recreation and leisure experiences to improve an individual's health and well-being.

We Provide:
