Therapeutic Recreation
Therapeutic Recreation
 |
All members of the community should have access to fun, healthy, positive recreation! Therapeutic Recreation offers people who have physical, intellectual, and/or behavioral challenges the opportunity to participate in recreational activities, competitive sporting events, specialized classes, creative programs, and special events! We strive to help those with special needs increase self-esteem, promote community involvement, and encourage independence. That's what Therapeutic Recreation is all about! For more information on Therapeutic Recreation, contact CSTR@GwinnettCounty.com. |
Inclusive Programs
 |
Inclusive Programs provide reasonable accommodations of assistance for individuals with special needs to confidently participate in a program. Adaptive activity equipment, increased staff/participant ratios, or activity modification are just some of the ways everyone can enjoy successful participation! Participants are asked to email CSTR@GwinnettCounty.com regarding any accommodations necessary for participation at least two weeks before the program start date. |
Specialized Programs
Specialized Programs are open to everyone but are designed to meet the unique needs of individuals with physical, mental, and/or emotional disabilities. Programs encourage self-confidence and include everything from special events to art therapy, and much more! |
