Therapeutic Recreation and Visual or Auditory disability

1. Prepare a "presentation" that you might facilitate at a conference. 2. The "presentation" should provide an overview of the disability including its interrelationship with cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains. 3. When presenting the disability be sure to present the overall impact of the disability on the individual not just the symptoms and functional limitations. 4. Describe the implications this condition might have on recreation programming including, barriers to participation (someone with lung disease shouldn't participate in a woodworking project that produces fine wood particles from sanding). 5. Present a list of (five to six) therapeutic recreation activities that this individual would benefit from and explain why. 6. Prepare a resource "handout" for the delegates at your presentation. This resource handout should include a list of organizations (with the web addresses) that advocate for, provide services to and/or educational materials for individuals with this disability. The resource guide should include a few websites that would provide valuable information for the Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist that works with this individual, this should include research articles. 7. prepare a position statement on why you believe it is necessary for the Therapeutic Recreation profession and professionals to advocate for and provide services to this population.
