Therapeutic Recreation Program Design uses the most up-to-date information and powerful study tools to help students learn how to synthesize different elements of therapeutic recreation into one cohesive program. The Fifth Edition features an improved organization that guides students through the theory and practice of therapeutic recreation programming in a way that fully prepares them to work effectively in the industry. The book has been thoroughly updated to include the latest government/ organization regulations, and more client examples have been woven through each chapter to give students practical illustrations of the theories presented in the text.

 

The Fifth Edition features substantially updated content, the discussion of therapeutic recreation for special populations, more comprehensive Example Boxes that highlight practical applications, and new instructor resources.

  • Chapter summaries synthesize key concepts from the chapter to help students study.
  • Appendices provide complete systems-designed programs, with Performance Sheets and Data Sheets that students can photocopy for use in their own programs, therapeutic recreation assessment instruments, and common medical abbreviations.
  • Schematic figures help students visualize models of the Program Planning Process.
  • Leisure Ability Model and Therapeutic Recreation Accountability Model are given complete coverage in their own chapters.
  • Helpful end-of-chapter discussion questions reinforce student understanding of the material.

 

  • A new Chapter 3 organizes and presents conceptual building blocks for program design, including accountability, outcomes, terminology, and best practices. The presentation of this material early in the text ensures that these concepts are understood prior to discussions about the actual procedures used for systematic programming.
  • Example Boxes highlight the text’s already strong emphasis on applications and add visual interest by breaking up the text on the page.
  • New material on diverse populations and cultural differences has been added to cover how this issue can impact patient programming.
  • A brand new Instructor’s Manual/Test Bank accompanies the Fifth Edition and includes chapter activities, teaching tips, and samples quizzes and test questions for each chapter.
  • A revised glossary ensures that no definitions are embedded in other definitions.
