Diane Wagner-Heffner, MA, CTRS, CBIS started Home & Community Recreation Therapy in 2006. Home & Community Recreation Therapy (HCRT) provides therapy in the client’s home & community. Our services not only improve functional levels but assist clients with overall health & happiness doing the things they enjoy. Research shows that an active, satisfying lifestyle leads to greater health and happiness—and that’s especially true for people with disabilities. HCRT incorporates our clients’ interests, support network, and pre-injury lifestyles to better engage them in therapy and achieve functional improvements. We provide the tools needed for ongoing success, working toward a lifestyle that is physically active, cognitively engaged, emotionally satisfying, and socially involved. Interventions and specializations include:
· Fitness programs
· Aquatics therapy
· Community safety evaluation
· Family and aide training
· Volunteer placement
· Computer and/or PDA research and training
· Education and integration into appropriate community institutions
· Stress management and relaxation
· Adaptive leisure skills training including horticulture, music, sports, art and games.
