What is Diversional Therapy?
Diversional Therapy is a client centred practice recognising that
leisure and recreational experiences are the right of all individuals.
Diversional Therapy practitioners work with people of all ages and abilities to design and
facilitate leisure and recreation programs. Activities are designed to support, challenge
and enhance the psychological, spiritual, social, emotional and physical wellbeing of
individuals.
Diversional Therapists provide opportunities for individuals to participate in leisure and
recreation activities. The Diversional Therapist facilitates individual client choice, decision
making and participation when developing and managing recreational programs. Through
specialised education and training Diversional Therapists possess specific skills and
knowledge applicable to health, community and leisure settings.
Diversional Therapy Australia is the professional body representing Diversional
Therapists, Diversional Therapy Assistants and Recreation Activity Officers in Australia.
