School Based Recreational Therapy
Therapeutic Recreation is defined in the IDEA as a related service.
Services Include:
Recreation Assessment
Assessment tells us about a student’s current leisure functioning,
strengths, interests, and abilities. Comprehensive assessment will
look at motor function, cognition and social development as they relate
to leisure and recreation in various environments.
Therapeutic Recreation Intervention
Individual or group therapeutic recreation intervention uses recreational
activities to develop motor, cognitive, or social skills.
Leisure Education
Leisure education is a process of teaching leisure and recreation-related
skills, attitudes, and values. This could range from teaching sport-specific
skills to exploring recreation opportunities in a student’s
own community.
All services are:
• Begun with Assessment
• Goal Based
• In Fulfillment of IEP Goals and Objectives
• Delivered in a natural setting (PE, recess, group experience)
