Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long-standing tradition of excellence is extended in the Fourth Edition of this authoritative introduction to the field of therapeutic recreation. The authors effectively combine a broad orientation to the profession with the practical information necessary for students to become successful practitioners. Part I contains a comprehensive discussion of the fields history and theoretical underpinnings, providing students with the perspective they need to evaluate the social, cultural, demographic, economic, and technical forces that have shaped and are continuing to impact health and human services in general, and therapeutic recreation in particular. Part II introduces students to the client populations served by therapeutic recreation specialists and describes specific approaches and activities employed by TR professionals to help clients achieve meaningful improvements in health status, functional capacities, and quality of life. The authors have retained the practical, student-oriented approach that makes this an ideal text for introductory courses. They address all content areas included in the NCTRC certification exam, are compatible with the American Psychiatric Association on psychological classifications, and incorporate the World Health Organizations international classification of functioning, disability, and health. The latest edition contains updated information on baby boomers, the obesity epidemic, and evidence-based practices; field-based photographs and illustrations; and study questions and exercises designed to engage students.
Download or read book Increasing Inclusive Recreation Opportunities for Children with Disabilities Through Community based Participatory Intervention written by Ashley Spring Morgan Deaton and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Participation in challenging and intrinsically motivating recreation and leisure activities is considered vital to the development of children and youth (Hendry, 1983; Larson, 2000 as cited in King et al., 2003). Participation in activities is the context in which people develop skills and competencies, form friendships and relationships, achieve mental and physical health, express creativity, develop a self-identity, and determine meaning and purpose in life (Brown & Gordon, 1987; Fidler, 1978, Henry, 1998, Schleien, Green, & Heyne, 1993). Children with disabilities have a decreased level of participation in recreation activities as compared to their typically developing peers. This doctoral project seeks to increase participation in recreation opportunities for children with disabilities, their families, and their fellow community members. This is done through community-based interventions, including a community forum and recreation programs that utilize an asset-based, capacity building approach. The collaborative participation of the whole community in the planning and implementation of these interventions is an integral aspect of this project, as "change is more likely to occur when the people it affects are involved in the change process" (Shediac-Rizhallah & Bone, 1998, p.95). It appears that a multi-level ecological approach that includes coalition building concepts and identifies community assets while empowering community members to actively participate as embedded leaders and facilitators is an effective approach to increasing recreation opportunities for children with physical disabilities, their families, and their fellow community members. By enabling participation, the desired outcomes of greater community cohesion, increased family participation in recreation opportunities, and increased awareness of the value of recreation will lead to increased opportunities for all community members.
