TR purpose: provide recreation ____ and _____ to people with disabilities to improve health and wellness

• A. Centers and Programs
• B. Equipment and Facilities
• C. Resources and Opportunities
• D. Therapy and Assessment

Answer: (C)

Therapeutic recreation centers on enabling people with disabilities to participate in meaningful leisure by providing the resources and opportunities they need to engage, which in turn supports health and wellness. Resources encompass things like information, funding, transportation, and adaptive equipment that remove barriers to participation. Opportunities refer to inclusive programs, adapted activities, and accessible events that create real chances to take part. Focusing on centers and programs describes where something happens, not the broader access TR seeks to promote. Equipment and facilities are the tools and spaces used, not the end goal of enhancing well-being through recreation. Therapy and assessment are important parts of care, but they don’t by themselves capture the aim of facilitating ongoing recreation participation for health and wellness. So, resources and opportunities best express this aim.
