Services
The first step in working together is to get to know each other through a complimentary initial consultation, followed by a comprehensive assessment of needs once we get started.
BEYOND Recreation Therapy strives to support individuals and families, businesses and organizations, and the community as awhole to facilitate inclusivity for all.
Recreation Therapy Consultation
An initial consultation with a Recreation Therapist is an opportunity to get to know one another. We can connect to discuss your current level of leisure participation, future goals and aspirations you have set and hope to achieve, recreation program options and supports in your community, funding and recreation equipment loans available, and more. An initial consultation can provide you with a better understanding of Recreation Therapy and all it has to offer.
Recreation Therapy Assessment
After an initial consultation, your Recreation Therapist will conduct a comprehensive needs assessment to determine the best therapeutic methods and activities for you. We will take the time to understand your personal recreational interests and passions, find new interests you might not know you had, and work to develop a trusting client/caregiver relationship. We will work together to plan therapy sessions based on your unique strengths and interests, and set achievable goals and outcomes.
Individualized Recreation Therapy Sessions
BEYOND Recreation Therapy provides one-to-one therapy sessions both in a client’s home and their community. Therapy sessions are tailored to each individual through a comprehensive leisure assessment, followed by purposeful goal setting and the implementation of your personalized Recreation Therapy plan. Your Recreation Therapist will document activity participation and progress to ensure goals are being met.
Rehabilitation Program Support
BEYOND Recreation Therapy provides support to clients participating in individual rehabilitation programs. A Recreation Therapist can work alongside you and other allied healthcare professionals (Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Speech Language Pathologist, etc.) to implement rehabilitation programs using leisure modalities. Your Recreation Therapist will motivate and encourage you during your rehabilitation journey and identify opportunities to complete your rehabilitation program in an enjoyable way that promotes continued participation and engagement.
Leisure Companionship & Respite Support
BEYOND Recreation Therapy provides companionship and non-medical respite services. Leisure companions provide activity engagement, support and socialization to clients living at home or in a community setting. Companions can assist with or supervise tasks and outings. Activities may include, but are not limited too, preparing meals, going for walks, engaging in hobbies, socializing, shopping, running errands, going to the gym, etc. Respite care includes activities or services designed to meet the safety and daily care needs of an individual and are determined in collaboration with clients and families.
Leisure Education & Advocacy
BEYOND Recreation Therapy strives to remove participation barriers for clients to encourage full engagement in leisure programming and a healthy leisure lifestyle. A Recreation Therapist can work alongside you and recreation programmers, community organizations, private businesses and families to explore successful participation strategies, provide education and inclusion training, as well as problem solve to help individuals fully participate in recreation and leisure in their homes, schools and communities.
