February is Recreational Therapy Month

Let's hear it for Special Tree's Recreational Therapists!  Through leisure activities, our TR's help clients to improve skills and emotional well being.

The Recreational Threapy team had a blast celebrating Rec Therapy Month with clients and staff. The TR's at Troy Neuro Skills Center planned a week of Valentine/Rec. therapy-themed activities.

On Monday, staff and clients decorated cookies and made Valentine's cards that were hand-delivered to Fort Sill, Oklahoma army hospital by Speciail Tree TR Amanda Hendley, who was visiting family. Tuesday, staff participated in getting to know Troy’s Recreational Therapy staff by attempting to complete a “Who’s Who in TR?” questionnaire. On Wednesday, Rec. therapy challenged staff to complete a Scavenger hunt. On Thursday, the recreational therapists passed out various word puzzles such as crossword puzzles, word search and scramble. To conclude the TR Month festivities, the recreational therapists provided a hot cocoa bar with a prize drawing.
