Reference Manual For Writing Effective Goals and Objectives in Recreational Therapy

Creating individualized recreational therapy treatment plans that contain long-term goals, measurable objectives, and interventions is made easier with the Reference Manual for Writing Effective Goals and Objectives in Recreational Therapy.  Target areas in the manual are organized by the six dimensions of well-being: leisure, psychological/emotional, cognitive, social, physical, and spiritual.  The three authors then present an efficient method of writing appropriate goals and objectives while providing hundreds of examples for RTs to individualize based on client needs.  RTs working with children in preschool through older adults can develop individualized treatment plans quickly and systematically by selecting from the book's numerous examples appropriate for common recreational therapy settings.  Qualifiers provide endless combinations of tasks and challenges to document client progress. This valuable resource also includes: 

• Discussion of the Flourishing through Leisure service-delivery model 
• A review of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), including common ICF codes used in RT 
• Easy-to-follow directions for writing your own goals and objectives 
• Reproducible worksheets for creating individualized goals and objectives 

This material is based on the authors' diverse backgrounds of more than 50 years of experience as RT practitioners in the field and 25 years as faculty members in university RT programs.  This is the book we have been waiting for!
