Download or read book Management Functions in Recreational Therapy written by David R. Austin and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides students and practitioners with perspectives on the management of recreational therapy heretofore unavailable to them. Many of the management concepts apply to middle level managers, but the focus of the book is on first-line recreational therapy managers and the areas of management identified by the National Council on Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC). In-depth coverage is given to the five basic functions of management: planning, organization, staffing, influencing, and controlling. In addition, chapters are provided on key concepts integral to the management of recreational therapy programs. Included are chapters on internship supervision, clinical supervision, volunteer management, and managing marketing. The final chapter, Issues and Concerns for Managers, is unique in that it contains areas of substantial importance to managers that have received little attention in the recreational therapy literature. The format for the book is readable and easy to follow. Each chapter lists objectives for the chapter, gives definitions of key terms used within the chapter, and ends with a conclusion or summary of the chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issues of leisure and dying are not often discussed in depth by those in recreation or thanatology. However, Recreation, Leisure, and Chronic Illness bridges the gap between leisure and thanatology. Professionals know that when illness, disability, stress, or poverty threaten the quantity and quality of a person’s life, leisure takes on great meaning. Readers will find in this truly unique book how leisure can be a positive counterforce to the physical and mental diminishments that erode health and work. Contributors to Recreation, Leisure and Chronic Illness explore the philosophy of leisure and how freedom, enjoyment, self-determination, and breaking the set patterns of daily life are central to true leisure, for persons in all walks of life. These authors illustrate the need for leisure in a wide variety of settings and in the face of multiple threats to both the quantity and the quality of life. Readers will find chapters filled with expert theories on how to help clients with limiting conditions realize the fulfillment of their leisure desires, the problem of groups left at the margins of the current health care policy who are also poorly served by the leisure professions, and the inevitable funding dilemma. Specific chapters focus on: improving leisure lifestyles as a crucial first step in rehabilitation the role and importance of recreation in lives of persons with AIDS benefits of recreation programs in senior centers and care centers community-based recreation programs that emphasize preserving existing coping patterns and maintaining daily functioning the ability of recreation to sustain hope for psychiatric patients relationships between leisure education and death education how creative activities--music, dance, art, and creative writing--are used to promote physical mental health While the chapters in Recreation, Leisure and Chronic Illness range from policy issues to specific recreation programs, as a whole they show the healing power of leisure. Professionals and students in both recreation and thanatology fields will find this volume an enlightening approach to promoting healing in those suffering from life-threatening conditions--medical, social, economic, or environmental.

This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RECREATIONAL THERAPY IS ONE OF the most popular fields in the healthcare industry. It is not surprising considering recreational therapists are paid to have fun with their patients. Recreational therapy is exactly what it sounds like - using recreation and leisure activities as a therapeutic device. For example, horseback riding can offer numerous benefits to a teenager with Cerebral Palsy. It can improve physical functionality and neurological connections, provide opportunities for social inclusion, and overcome depression through freedom of movement. Adaptive swimming, one of the most common forms of recreational therapy, is a safe, low-impact way to regain strength after a heart attack, develop motor skills in children with disabilities, or treat the cognitive and emotional effects of Autism. The possibilities are endless, but the overall concept is that recreational activities can better a person's quality of life. Recreational therapists work with patients of all ages, with a broad range of emotional, cognitive, or physical illnesses or injuries. They do more than simply play. They carefully assess each patient's situation by reviewing medical records, consulting with the medical team, meeting with family members, and talking to the patient. Based on the patient's goals and interests, the therapist will develop a treatment plan designed specifically for that individual. It may involve any kind of activity - art, drama, music, dance, sports, games, or community outings. Once the plan is in place, regular treatment sessions begin using fun stuff to help improve their condition. Most recreational therapists work in hospitals, skilled nursing care facilities, or assisted living centers. Many work in VA facilities, helping veterans with emotional issues like PTSD or physical disabilities like amputations. Recreational therapy is extremely popular in nursing homes where the elderly need help keeping up their fine motor skills, brain function, and mental well-being. Recreational therapists can also be found working in school systems, prisons, halfway houses, special education departments, parks and recreation departments, and outpatient centers for substance abuse or rehabilitation. A bachelor's degree is required to become a certified recreational therapist. If you are not ready to spend four years in college, there is an alternative. It only takes two years to earn an associate degree, which is the minimum requirement for an entry-level position. However, an associate degree does not qualify you for certification, and without certification opportunities for pay raises and advancement are limited. A certified recreational therapist earns an average yearly income of roughly $50,000. Without a bachelor's degree and certification, the best you can expect is around $30,000. It is also possible to enter the field as a recreational therapy aide with no more than a high school diploma. This is a good way to experience what the work is really like before committing to the necessary training. Recreational therapy is a career that is both enjoyable and challenging. You will be paid to have fun while helping people achieve a better quality of life. It offers variety and flexibility - your training will prepare you to work with any population and build on your interests. If you are looking for a career in the healthcare field where patients will be happy to see you, read on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 35 years, Therapeutic Recreation: A Practical Approach has provided an authoritative and engaging introduction to the field of therapeutic recreation. The Fifth Edition of Carter and Van Andel's well-regarded text extends this tradition of excellence, equipping a new generation of students with the theoretical foundations and practical methods they need to become successful practitioners. The authors present the fundamentals of recreational therapy practice from the perspective of a 21st-century health and human service profession: emphasizing evidenced-based practices and documented outcomes, supporting individual and community assets, promoting fiscal responsibility, and utilizing a strengths-based approach that focuses on an individual's capacities when developing a strategy to improve health status, quality of life, and functional abilities. Updates throughout reflect recent scholarship, revised standards and operational definitions, evidence-based literature to support interventions, and global health concerns. The critical component of documentation has been added to discussions of the APIE-D process, while chapters on neurodevelopmental disorders and behavioral and mental health issues incorporate the terminology and organization of the DSM-5. The latest edition also features expanded treatment of social issues and the adult-onset, chronic, and lifelong illnesses and disabilities associated with aging. This full-featured edition retains the student-oriented approach that makes it an ideal text for introductory courses. Illustrations, case studies, key terms, study questions, and practical exercises reinforce key concepts and offer opportunities to apply chapter content, while abundant field-based photographs illuminate the practice of recreational therapy.
