LEIS 4563 Therapeutic Recreation Specialization: Aging and Lifestyle
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course is an upper level therapeutic recreation specialization course which takes the concepts and skills learned in the previous therapeutic recreation courses and applies them specifically to older adults. Initially, issues related to theories of aging, characteristics of older adults and pre-retirement planning will be discussed. The implications of these characteristics for therapeutic recreation services and the various service settings in which therapeutic recreation services are provided will then be examined. Finally, the therapeutic recreation service delivery issues specific to older adults will be examined, including assessment procedures, program intervention techniques, documentation and efficacy of therapeutic recreation service delivery for this population. Site visits, observations, and simulations will be used to facilitate the application of this material.
