Goal-oriented Individual, Group, and Family Sessions
Our recreation therapy (RT) program utilizes goal-oriented individual, group, and family sessions to increase students’ knowledge of themselves as well as to enhance feelings of trust, responsibility, self-esteem, cooperation, adaptability, awareness and decision making.
Benefits experienced by students who participate in RT at Maple Lake Academy include:
- Countless opportunities to learn and practice communication and social skills while working as a team member in community tasks.
- Frequent occasions for the student to gain leadership skills through planning, development and implementation of recreation therapy activities as task leader.
- Community service projects help students understand their role and importance in society.
- Greater opportunities for personal growth and progress through participating in tasks that are perceived to be challenging.
- Leisure participation, social integration, and problem resolution.
