Recreation

What does the youth choose to do in their free time? Do they have personal interests and are they able to engage in these as independently as possible?

  • Awareness: Understand available recreation activities.
  • Exploration: Identify personal strengths, preferences, interests and needs related to recreation.
  • Preparation: Practice identifying and participating in recreation activities at home, school and in the community.
  • Implementation: Engage in recreation activities at home, school and in the community as independently as possible.
