For TR professionals and their clients, it's about embracing challenges and helping people develop a satisfying leisure lifestyle. The Therapeutic Recreation Program prepares graduates to assess, plan, implement and evaluate a wide range of leisure services for children, adolescents, adults and older adults who experience a barrier to a healthy leisure lifestyle. Students learn how to work with individuals and groups to assess their needs and interests in order to facilitate meaningful recreation and leisure experiences with and for them. These services facilitate positive changes in clients to aid in achieving optimal health and well being through independent and personally fulfilling leisure lifestyles. The program stresses the application of theory with its model of classroom related courses which incorporate community experiences and assignments and such as service-learning in addition to practicum practicum and internship placements.
