Have You Seen ATRA's Definition of RT?
Has anyone else noticed the definition on the ATRA website? The definition statement reads:
"'Recreational Therapy' means a treatment service designed to restore, remediate and rehabilitate a person’s level of functioning and independence in life activities, to promote health and wellness as well as reduce or eliminate the activity limitations and restrictions to participation in life situations caused by an illness or disabling condition."
My initial impression is that it is a pretty good definition. I wonder who developed it? Any reactions to this definition?

With no mention of the words "leisure" or "recreation" as part of the modalities or output, I am not happy with this definition.
