What is Diversional Therapy?

Diversional Therapy is defined as ‘a professional practice which recognises and facilitates purposeful recreational leisure and pleasure activities with individual client choice to increase the physical, intellectual, spiritual and emotional wellbeing of the older person in a supportive environment’.

Diversional Therapists are also known as Activity Coordinators (UK), Recreational Therapists (US) & Recreation Officers (AUS). We work in various environments including retirement/rest homes, hospitals, schools and with all ages but mostly with the elderly and disabled.
