CPRP Therapeutic Recreation and Inclusive Programming 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: The Leisure Ability Model (Peterson & Stumbo) identifies which three service components?
- Assessment, planning, evaluation
- Treatment, education, recreation
- Functional intervention, leisure education, recreation participation (Correct answer)
- Individual, group, community services
Correct answer: Functional intervention, leisure education, recreation participation
The Leisure Ability Model organizes TR services into functional intervention, leisure education, and recreation participation on a continuum from treatment to independent leisure.
Question 2: An adaptive aquatics program modifies swim instruction by using flotation devices for a participant with hemiplegia. This is an example of:
- Activity restriction
- Environmental modification
- Equipment adaptation (Correct answer)
- Rule modification
Correct answer: Equipment adaptation
Using flotation devices represents an equipment adaptation that enables participation by compensating for physical limitations.
Question 3: Which document serves as the primary guide for individualized therapeutic recreation services in clinical settings?
- Program activity calendar
- Individualized Treatment Plan (ITP) (Correct answer)
- Agency policy manual
- Departmental mission statement
Correct answer: Individualized Treatment Plan (ITP)
The Individualized Treatment Plan documents client goals, objectives, interventions, and progress, guiding personalized TR services.
Question 4: When a recreation programmer uses 'person-first language,' they would correctly say:
- The autistic child needs adapted equipment
- The child with autism needs adapted equipment (Correct answer)
- The special needs child needs adapted equipment
- The differently-abled child needs adapted equipment
Correct answer: The child with autism needs adapted equipment
Person-first language places the individual before the disability, emphasizing personhood over diagnosis.
Question 5: Social inclusion in recreation programming is best measured by assessing:
- The number of participants with disabilities enrolled in programs
- Whether participants with disabilities have meaningful social interactions with peers (Correct answer)
- Completion of physical accessibility upgrades to facilities
- Staff-to-participant ratios in adaptive programs
Correct answer: Whether participants with disabilities have meaningful social interactions with peers
True social inclusion requires genuine social connections and interactions, not just physical presence in integrated settings.
Question 6: A therapeutic recreation specialist documenting SOAP notes would record objective findings under which section?
- Subjective — client's reported feelings
- Objective — measurable, observable data (Correct answer)
- Assessment — clinician's interpretation
- Plan — future intervention strategies
Correct answer: Objective — measurable, observable data
The Objective section of SOAP notes records measurable, observable data such as performance scores, attendance, or behavioral counts.
Question 7: Which approach is most appropriate when a parks and recreation agency receives a disability accommodation request but is uncertain of the specific modification needed?
- Deny the request until documentation is provided
- Engage in an interactive dialogue with the individual to identify effective solutions (Correct answer)
- Refer the individual to a separate adaptive program
- Consult the ADA coordinator without involving the participant
Correct answer: Engage in an interactive dialogue with the individual to identify effective solutions
The interactive process involves direct communication with the individual to collaboratively identify reasonable accommodations that meet their needs.
