1. What is recreational therapy?
Recreation therapy, also known as medical entertainment, is the therapy on the basis of engaging in recreational activities (such as sports or music), especially for the benefit of people affected by work, independence and inefficient condition. Lovers Entertainment Therapist will use many "domains" for the excitement and success of the customer's implementation.2. What are the functions of recreational therapy?
A good recreational therapy program provides activities for the customer who covers physical, spiritual, artistic, intellectual, social and sensory domains. Artistic domains, or creative arts, crafts, music, drama, and sports. Physical domains may include sports or activities such as exercise, yoga, or dance. Spiritual is not only a formal religion, but anything that is related to self-awareness, meditation, and inner peace, and it can involve equality with religious involvement or nature. Cognitive or intellectual domains may include crossword puzzles, word search, general knowledge games, or even current-event discussions.Another domain is sensory stimulation or sensory awareness where the customer's senses are intentionally engaged in achieving response or reaction. These senses include visual, auditory, odor (smell), groin (taste) and touch. For someone who needs to be engaged at the sensory level, I use an orange example. Orange has a fixed size, a fixed texture, and a fixed visual appeal. If you cut orange, then it has a fragrance. Once the orange gets open and you squeeze it, you can put a juice drop on the customer's lips so that you can add almost all the senses with one object. The most successful is the therapeutic entertainment program with the biggest result, where the customer experiences feelings of diversity in the domain.
3. Who can benefit from a recreational doctor?
Entertainment therapy is for people of any age - from childhood to young and old as the end of life. At any age, anyone will benefit from a recreational doctor, who has the necessary experience and uses the best methods to get the best results with each customer.4. Do entertainment therapists work with other health providers?
Most definitely Entertainment therapy is associated with physical and occupational therapy in many ways. Physics and occupational treatments are rehabilitated with Rehab, in which walking, transferring, wearing clothes, taking shower-helping customers to get at a functional level, for example, after a stroke or accident. Once a rehab physician has determined that the customer has reached a plateau, the customer works on maintenance rehabilitation. Entertainment therapy can be considered both as maintenance therapy, in which the person works on maintaining his functional skills, and a "restitution" therapy, where the client learns new adaptive techniques, which engages in furthering the activity.5. How different from the involvement of recreational therapy activity?
You can experience in entertainment which includes more in arts and crafts and bingo, or social areas such as birthday parties or social activities. These are such incidents that an activity professional or coordinator will put together for the overall benefit of all. With recreational therapy, we know each of our customers on an individual basis during an intake session, and then we look at the needs of each person for the intervention of medical leave. The entire therapeutic approach takes into account the illness or disability of that person, and we strive to increase customer's participation on the basis of optimization as necessary. We also work with a customer when a doctor writes a recipe for recreational therapy.Many recreational practitioners study for undergraduate or master's degrees in entertainment therapy, like I did, and take courses such as keynology, physiology, psychology, and medical terminology. To be an entertainer, you have to understand the procedure and rehabilitation process, whereas an activity does not work. Some features may be an activity director or activity professional, and there is nothing wrong in it - they can not just call their programs as recreational therapy.
