Therapists at F.L.O.W. will conduct a training regimen that is safe and productive for the clients. We believe exercise and being active are essential to well-being. Fitness can come in many different forms and settings that anyone can benefit from. Clients will be able to use certain fitness facilities in the community, participate in sports, engage in individualized skills training, and fine motor activities, go hiking, swim, kayak, or do anything that the clients enjoy.

Leisure time allows clients to step back — physically but most important, mentally — from stress. Leisure activities are individualized to each person's past, present, and future interests and lifestyle. This can be self-directed leisure pursuits or activities such as games, cards, arts/crafts, reading, drawing, etc.

Outings utilize community integration to explore Fort Wayne and its surrounding areas. Outings can be 1:1 therapist/client time or time as a group with other members During these outings we look at appropriate social interaction, manners, and life skills that may be improved upon. Each client is able to voice their interest in social activities they or would like to attend. Examples include: going out to eat, laser tag, sky zone, concerts, plays, sporting events, movies, malls, and going to the grocery store.

Clients will work with their recreational therapist and the F.L.O.W team to achieve an overall healthy lifestyle. Recreational therapy weaves the concept of healthy living into treatments to ensure improved functioning, enhance independence, and successful involvement in all aspects of life.
