Therapeutic Recreation involves a process, which uses recreation activities to habilitate or rehabilitate functional abilities, which contribute to behavioral change. The process involves assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Diversion activities, on the other hand, are conducted by individuals who focus on games and pastimes for fun without the intensive focus on an individualâs rehabilitative needs that is the foundation of Recreational Therapy. Recreational Therapists assess patients need and develop individualized care plans.
