Recreation Therapy
Recreation therapists provide opportunities for the burn patients to improve function and independence through various activities. Children's special needs are met through play therapy, and older children have bedside tutoring to help maintain their academics. After discharge, a burn support group meets monthly.
The Mission of Recreation Therapy
