 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.
