THERAPEUTIC RECREATION
Therapeutic recreation occurs in a non-competitive environment that offers opportunities for clients to perform and to develop their abilities in a variety of activities. Therapeutic recreation is included in treatment planning and provides for any or all of the following:
Activities include arts and crafts, board games, aerobic exercise, and a variety of games and contests designed to enhance the clients' physical coordination and/or mental health. All activities are scheduled and organized by a recreation supervisor and are implemented by the treatment staff. Community resources include parks, museums, and theaters. Clients may also participate in intramural sports and other recreation-related activities. For more information about therapeutic recreation, contact Len Lombardo, Director of Service Delivery, at (814) 899-7664, Extension 307. Some of the activities enjoyed by our clients are sponsored by Tickets for Kids Charities, a nonprofit organization that donates tickets to cultural, educational, and sporting events to lower-income children and their families. To date, Tickets for Kids has distributed over one million tickets nationwide. To learn more about Tickets for Kids Charities, click here or on the logo below.
