Highlights

Since the 1990s, many community services for the elderly were developed so as to meet the increasing aged population. There are great demands upon front line professionals to understand, apart from primary care issues, positive and active ageing approaches, recreational requirements and recreation programming for the aged, meaningful play and to be able to provide such services in a planned approach.

Programme Details

This short course aims to provide students working with older persons with the techniques to plan, implement and promote recreation and play programmes to healthy clients. It covers the current practices used to develop appropriate programmes needed by clients and the methods employed to promote programmes to specific groups. The subject focuses on appropriate needs analysis, creativity and the use of promotional tools to develop and deliver successful recreation programmes for older persons.
