Description

Written by a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist with more than 20 years’ experience helping people – from depressed teenagers to people with disabilities to older people with chronic illness – “Making the Moments Count” provides clear strategies for making leisure part of the caregiving experience. Drawing on the latest research in caregiving and leisure, Joanne Ardolf Decker shows how family members or professional caregivers can first assess a person’s interests and then plan and carry out activities that stimulate the person physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. The book is a guide to bringing the restorative benefits of leisure into the most restrained situations.
