Recreational therapy

Task

Students are to develop a formal group program in your allocated organisational setting, using the framework provided in class. Students are to undertake any assessments that may be required to develop a baseline for therapeutic recreation intervention. Based on the outcomes of the assessments, you are to plan, implement and evaluate a therapeutic recreation program in the setting with a participant group. The assessment will help you to identify the group’s needs. In conjunction with the organisation’s needs, the participant needs and aspirations you are then to design a therapeutic recreation program for implementation.

Please note whilst you are on placement you may participate in and plan many programs. This written report only needs to talk about one program and not communicate everything you completed on placement.

The program is to have an overall goal, with objectives appropriate for the health domains and 2-3 sessions for implementation. You will implement the program then evaluate the program. Please note it is expected that you are applying principles of TR learnt to date and using appropriate TR and health language.

You need to evaluate the groups progress in relation to their objectives, evaluate the program plan itself and evaluate yourself as the practitioner. You have already completed the organisational information in Part A of this assessment, so it is not required to be submitted again.
