Roanoke County s rec therapy offers leisure to people with disabilities

In-person therapeutic recreation is returning to the Brambleton Center and places beyond after a yearlong virtual hiatus, as a Roanoke County program marks its 45th year bringing the joys and benefits of leisure to people with disabilities. Roanoke County Therapeutic Recreation serves about 400 individuals during a typical year, usually seeing those more than once across its 130 programs, ranging from lunch in the park or a swim at Splash Valley to overnight trips out of town, said Director Kristen Spencer. “We provide specialized and adaptive recreation and leisure opportunities for people valley-wide who may have a disability,” Spencer said. “It’s not just your regular recreation program though … they’re also getting some life skills training, which is what really makes our program unique.”
