  • Complete comprehensive assessments and develop individualized, goal-oriented treatment plans.
  • Provide one-on-one Recreational Therapy services in clients' homes, community settings, and through telehealth when appropriate.
  • Design and facilitate evidence-based interventions that address physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and leisure functioning.
  • Promote community integration, independence, self-advocacy, and meaningful participation in leisure and daily life.
  • Adapt interventions to accommodate each client's unique strengths, interests, abilities, and goals.
  • Collaborate with caregivers, case managers, and interdisciplinary team members to ensure coordinated care.
  • Complete accurate and timely documentation in accordance with company policies and payer requirements.
  • Maintain professional, ethical, and clinical standards while representing Caliber Therapies in the community.
