RHDS 650 - Action-Oriented Therapies


This course is used to provide an opportunity to examine, discuss, and experience several of the action-oriented therapies currently in use in many rehabilitation facilities serving adults with physical disabilities, children with exceptionality, and aging consumers. Action-oriented therapies are used to employ nonverbal modes of interacting, games, drama, free play, movement, music, art, or other activities. Students explore these as therapeutic modalities in which many conflicts are sorted out and resolved. Emphasis is on the use of these techniques to enhance intellectual and emotional functioning for more effective independent living and rehabilitation.
