Modality Preceptorship in Recreational Therapy II

Catalog description

This course facilitates experiential learning environments for recreational therapy students consisting of preceptor-supervised experiences in health care and community-based agencies. Students acquire specific modality/skills and facilitation techniques used as treatment interventions in recreational therapy practice. Unique to the Modality Preceptorship Level II course, students complete a certification prior to implementing an evidence-based modality within the assigned recreational therapy setting. Measured competence (e.g., knowledge, skill, and ability) to lead and facilitate the treatment interventions used to achieve evidence-based outcomes for the patients/clients served are assessed. Documentation procedures for program planning, accountability, and payment of service are practiced throughout the course. Advocacy, legislation, and recreational therapy as a related service in community-based settings receive special emphasis in this course. Prerequisite: RTH 319 , RTH 352 , RTH 355 , RTH 376 , junior standing. Offered Fall, Spring.
