“I love seeing the ‘Aha!’ moments, when they use skills we’ve been teaching them and helping them practice without reminding them.”

Activity Therapy is a part of Wedgwood’s Recreation & Wellness Services – which is one of our 100% donor-funded Transforming Services. Aileen Fiest is the Activity Therapy Coordinator and Activity Therapist for one of our specialized residential treatment programs.

In this week’s Coffee Break Conversation Aileen talks about leisure and coping skills, the importance of Activity Therapy for kids who have experienced trauma, and how every day activities can have therapeutic benefits.
