Recreation as Therapy?
“While (RT) has much to offer...its specific
contribution lies in the area of leisure
functioning. Because leisure is such an
integral part of most peoples lives, it is seen
as vitally important to individuals overall
quality of life and life satisfaction”. (Peterson,
2000)

Quality of Life
Simply increasing the variety and frequency of social
and leisure activities may not increase SQOL
Increase opportunities for participation with others
Enhance subjective experience of social and leisure
activities
Specific to patients with TBI; social support network,
redefining oneself though new roles, and participating
in fulfilling and meaningful activities
What does this mean for RT?
“Providing the right patient with
the right service (at) the right
time in the right setting at the
right intensity and for the right
duration”. (Navar, 1991)
