Assessment in Therapeutic Recreation
Assessment is the systematic process of gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing information
about an individual client to understand their needs, strengths, abilities, and limitations. In TR, it

establishes baseline data for measuring outcomes, and ensures services are client-centered. It
utilizes both formal (standardized tools) and informal (interviews, observations) methods to
evaluate leisure functioning, barriers to participation, and overall health and well-being.
