Magic as an Innovative and Therapeutic Intervention in Recreational Therapy

lunes, el 16 de septiembre de 2019 a las 10:30–12:00 PDT
Session Description (for use in the program and for marketing purposes)

Magic, conducted as a therapeutic intervention, is an innovative and engaging approach to improving client outcomes. The uniqueness of concept of magic motivates clients to practice relevant skills. This session is designed to instruct conference participants on the rationale, techniques, and implementation of 4-6 magic tricks using everyday items (e. g., rubber bands, money, etc.). These "tricks" address therapeutic goals such as fine/gross motor skills, cognitive/administrative skills, memory skills, social interaction skills, and self-esteem. Participants will learn the theories that underlie the relevance of this intervention. In addition, evidence-based case studies of magic as an intervention will be presented. Each trick presented will include step by step instructions for teaching tricks to clients (with task analysis), skills required for client to perform it, facilitation considerations, specific outcomes addressed, and possible adaptations/modifications. Supplies and a resource handout will be provided.
