Therapeutic Recreation

Native American Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples while recognizing the diverse experiences that strengthen our communities. This year, we highlight three Indigenous leaders with disabilities whose work in advocacy, education, the arts, and cultural preservation highlights the richness of Indigenous experiences, including disability, while creating meaningful change for future generations.

We encourage you to explore their brief bios and discover how their leadership, advocacy, and dedication are strengthening communities, advancing disability justice, and preserving Indigenous traditions and knowledge.

Arlington County Department of Parks and Recreation is committed to the Americans with Disabilities Act which guarantees non-discrimination and equal access for individuals with disabilities in all programs, services, and activities.  Arlington County's Therapeutic Recreation (TR) Office is committed to providing positive recreation opportunities and experiences for participants with disabilities.

The Therapeutic Recreation (TR) Office provides specialized services for individuals with disabilities in both adapted and general recreation programs. We can work with participants, parents/guardians, and staff to help ensure that supports are in place to promote an enjoyable and successful program experience. Advanced notice for any requests for modifications are welcome.
