This third volume of the very popular Leisure Education series includes 108 new and innovative activities for clients of all ages. Leisure Education III focuses on some basic conceptual foundations for service provision. The introductory chapters highlight a conceptual framework that shows how the different elements of service provision, such as protocols, activity analysis, and quality improvement, are related. Next is an examination of assessment issues and concerns that need to be addressed to meet increasing accountability demands, and a review of some problems and concerns with the use of activity interest inventories as a primary source of client assessment information.
A new section on decision-making skills activities has been added, and the section on social skills activities has nearly doubled from previous editions. These changes will help specialists respond to these growing areas of concern for many types of clients.

The second chapter focuses on the assessment of social skills in order to provide an intervention program aimed at improving those skills. The third chapter provides more information on the provision of intervention programs aimed at improving social skills.

Study Guide for the Therapeutic Recreation Specialist Certification Examination

Folkerth, Jean E.

The purpose of the Study Guide is to assist candidates in preparing for the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification’s (NCTRC) national certification examination for Therapeutic Recreation Specialist. 
The Study Guide will: a) provide information on reducing test anxiety and improving test performance; and b) provide numerous sample questions, similar to those actually found on the exam, which will allow candidates to practice and self-assess their own readiness for the test. 
Significant changes in this third edition include: a) 90 warm-up items- 40 more than previous editions b) 180 sample questions- two practice tests c) 240 diagnostic and review items focusing on the following specific areas: - Background - Diagnostic Groupings - Assessment - Planning the Intervention - Implementing the Intervention - Documentation/Evaluation - Organizing/Managing - Advancement of the Profession 
The two reviews posted refer to the 1st and 2nd editions. This new 3rd edition addresses and fixes the deficiences noted in those reviews!

Designed as a resource for practitioners and students, this newly revised manual contains more than one hundred activities and variations of diverse types--from individual to large group, just for fun to competition, passive to active--for use in therapeutic recreation settings. It supplies a wide variety of both new and proven activities to meet the needs of clients and programs, and encourages users to create their own activities. Leisure Education I: A Manual of Activities and Resources is a comprehensive guide to the design and implementation of leisure education programs. It provides background information on the widely used Leisure Education Content Model, activity analysis, and activity selection for intervention. The first three chapters represent these topics to help the reader understand the justification behind the provision of leisure education activities and programs. The mixers, leisure awareness, social skills, and leisure resource activities that follow have little meaning without the specialist knowing in which situations and for which clients each activity is best used. It is not difficult to select an activity and present it to a group; it is, however, difficult to select the right activity for the right group of clients to produce the right outcomes. This leisure education manual is provided to aid in that process.
