Description Recreation therapists are frequently tasked with solving very complex problems in their practice. This unit uses project-based learning to provide students with the opportunity to work collaboratively to solve an industry-driven problem, using systematic and evidence-based techniques to do so. Students will be challenged to think broadly to take into account the interrelationships among a full range of causal factors underlying the problem at hand, and will be required to use more collaborative and innovative approaches to solve industry challenges.
