Description
The intent of this book is to improve the systematic application of various techniques and modalities to the practice of therapeutic recreation.Improving and standardizing practice is fundamental to increasing our ability to select interventions based on their potential to impact client outcomes. When we fully realize the potential of specific interventions to help clients arrive at certain outcomes, then we can choose these interventions and techniques with greater skill and confidence. Systematic application, however, depends on a number of key factors to succeed. First, every profession benefits from the application of evidence and theory to their practice. Evidencebased practice; i.e., the application of research evidence to intervention design, and theory-based practice;i.e., the application of relevant theory to intervention design, are both equally important to ensure that programs, interventions , or treatments are built on best practices. Conversely, programs that are designed haphazardly or lackadaisically - say from tradition, therapist interest, or sheer inertia - are unlikely to help clients to achieve their goals and fulfill their full potential.Second, program design and planning needs to be done with care and through a systematicprocess using established procedures. Comprehensive program design, activity analysis, protocol development, are a few of the steps of systematic program design used by therapeutic recreation specialists. Third, targeting important and valued client outcomesis extremely important.
