Day in the Life
Recreational
therapists provide services in special activity rooms but also plan activities
and prepare documentation in offices. When working with clients during
community integration programs, they may travel locally to teach clients
how to use public transportation and other public areas, such as parks,
playgrounds, swimming pools, restaurants, and theaters. Therapists often
lift and carry equipment. Recreational therapists generally work a 40-hour
week that may include some evenings, weekends, and holidays.
Therapists may advance to supervisory or administrative
positions. Some teach, conduct research, or consult for health or social
services agencies.
