What is Recreation Therapy?

Recreation Therapy
Recreation Therapy is a clinical, evidence-based healthcare service that uses recreation, leisure, movement, fitness, and community experiences to improve physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioral well-being.
Every service is provided by a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) who develops individualized treatment plans based on each person’s strengths, interests, abilities, and goals. Rather than focusing solely on limitations, we help individuals discover what they can achieve through purposeful activities that promote confidence, independence, and a higher quality of life.
Whether we’re working in the home, community, school, fitness facility, or aquatic environment, our mission remains the same—to help every individual reach their fullest potential while enjoying the journey.

Our Approach
No two individuals are alike, which is why every Recreation Therapy program at Volition is personalized.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify each client’s abilities, interests, challenges, and personal goals. From there, we create an individualized treatment plan that incorporates meaningful activities designed to improve functional skills while keeping clients motivated and engaged.
Our sessions are designed to be enjoyable while targeting measurable therapeutic outcomes that carry over into everyday life.
