Therapeutic Recreation (T.R.)
Therapeautic Recreation (T.R.) provides recreation and leisure opportunities to persons with physical/mental illnesses or disabling conditions. Our T.R. service philosophy is to encourage people of all abilities to engage in a more active lifestyle through community recreation. Our goal is to provide positive recreation and leisure experiences through adapted, inclusive and community integration programs.
To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all individuals in therapeutic recreation programs, participants or their parents, must complete an assessment form that provides our staff with details necessary for participation. Each participant must be restroom-trained and is expected to display appropriate behavior such as having the ability to listen and follow instructions, and interact with others in a socially acceptable manner.
