RECREATIONAL THERAPY Imagine a career in which you help others get better and stay healthy by having them do the things they love to do! Recreational Therapy, also know as Therapeutic Recreation, is a profession that contributes to the broad spectrum of health care through treatment, education, and the provision of adapted recreational opportunities--all of which are instrumental to improving and maintaining physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning, preventing secondary health conditions, enhancing independent living skills and overall quality of life. |
The Economist recently rated recreational therapy as the least likely profession to be replaced by technological advancement and automation within the next two decades. To read the article visit The Economist.
