Half of the duties involve delivering recreational therapy services to individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The therapist will deliver community-based services aimed at increasing independent participation in community-based recreation. The other half of the position is working on ongoing research projects with the Temple University Collaborative on Community Inclusion of Individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities.
