Therapeutic Recreation (TR)

Therapeutic Recreation is a purposeful intervention designed to bring about positive emotional, social, physical or cognitive changes in individuals with disabilities. Interventions are designed to foster independence and develop skills for improved quality of life. Programs are highly structured, goal oriented opportunities to bring about change while incorporating a participant’s individual leisure interests

The Therapeutic Recreation division of Little Rock Parks and Recreation utilizes trained staff, adapted equipment and community based activities to provide programs that enhance a participant’s ability to enjoy recreational activities and promote healthy, independent leisure lifestyles.

Therapeutic Recreation:

• Teaches new skills and knowledge
• Builds strong minds and healthy bodies
• Enhances self concept, self esteem and confidence
• Fosters peer relationships and community integration
• Develops life-long leisure skills
• Improves quality of life

Our Mission

To improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by providing community recreational and leisure opportunities and promoting lifelong skills.
