This experiential program provides students theoretical knowledge and applied hands-on experience to plan, implement and evaluate leisure and therapeutic recreation activities. Students learn about the interrelationships of determinants of health, benefits of leisure and recreation activities to health, quality of life and overall well-being; why choices, preferences and lifestyle are critical components of quality of life in settings serving our older generations; and that leisure and therapeutic recreation activities provide purpose, significance and meaning to individuals. Using person-centred practice philosophy that recognizes and respects the uniqueness of each individual, graduates assist to plan, implement, adapt/modify, facilitate and evaluate leisure and therapeutic recreation activities in a variety of community and facility settings under the direction and supervision of a health professional.
