Perspectives from SCI Therapists: Kristy, Therapeutic Recreation

Support the Northwest Regional SCI System by donating at http://www.acceleratemed.org/SCI. After listening, give us your feedback using this quick survey: https://redcap.link/sciforumpod After spinal cord injury, individuals often work with many different rehabilitation therapists across both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation as they recover and as function changes over time. We had the chance to talk to several different kinds of rehabilitation therapists about their work including: What is involved in becoming a therapist? What are the main things that each discipline works on with their SCI patients? Why does someone choose to be a therapist and work in rehabilitation? In the third podcast of this series, we talk with Kristy Grant, CTRS about her work as a recreation therapist and learn about what recreation (rec) therapists focus on when working with people who have had a spinal cord injury.
