KNR 273:
Leisure Ability Model
Stumbo & Peterson, 2009
Overview




Significance of a professional philosophy
Leisure Ability Model
Means/end debate
Framework for evaluating models
Why is a professional
philosophy important?

It guides practice



Tells you and others why you do what you do
Regardless of philosophy or model, will use
APIE
Professional philosophies are often
represented in models
What is a model?





Representative of something
Provides an image or picture
Practice models must do more
Should direct practitioners in intervening with
clients
Should be based on theory

Austin, 1999
Leisure Ability Model
(Adopted by NTRS in 1982)





Originally by Peterson & Gunn, 1984
Modified by Peterson & Stumbo, 2000
Services should be based on client needs or
deficits
Focus on needs related to leisure makes TR
unique
Leisure is vital to overall quality of life and life
satisfaction
Listen to this!!!!

“This exclusive discipline focus on leisure
behavior within the umbrella of health
promotion makes the field of therapeutic
recreation different and unique from all other
health and human services. Therapeutic
recreation has much to offer clients regarding
their overall health and rehabilitation goals,
and its specific contribution lies in the area of
leisure functioning and leisure behavior.”

p. 28
Rationale for TR Services



Every human being needs, wants, and
deserves leisure
Many, if not most, individuals experience
barriers to full and satisfying leisure
Many PWD may experience more frequent,
severe or lasting barriers than people without
disabilities
Rationale for TR Services
(Cont.)


Many individuals with disabilities will need the
help of CTRS to eliminate, reduce, overcome,
or compensate for their barriers
The reduction of barriers allows the
individuals to participate in leisure
experiences of choice
Ultimate Outcome of TR
Services

“is the improved ability of the individual to engage in
a successful, appropriate, and meaningful
independent leisure lifestyle that, in turn, leads to
improved health, quality of life, and well-being.
When the individual can independently and
successfully engage in leisure of his or her own
choice, the individual has the chance to receive
psychological, physical, and social benefits as well
as the more global benefits of improved health,
wellness, and quality of life.”

Process

Functional intervention
 Leisure education

Purpose of TR

Is to facilitate the development, maintenance,
and expression of an appropriate leisure
lifestyle

p. 33
Leisure Lifestyle

Implies that an individual has sufficient skills,
knowledge, attitudes, and abilities to
participate successfully in and be satisfied
with leisure and recreation experiences that
are incorporated into his or her individual life
pattern. (Peterson & Stumbo, 2000, p. 7)

In other words….



TR is helping individuals with disabilities
and/or illnesses develop and more freely
express their leisure choices
AND
The outcome of TR services is the improved
ability of the individual to make and act on
choices for leisure that are rewarding and
successful
Psycho-Social Theories of
Leisure Behavior




Perceived freedom & personal choice
Intrinsic motivation
Self-efficacy, locus of control, & causal
attribution
Optimal experiences (flow)
Leisure Ability Model

Leisure Ability Concerns




Based on nondisabled
adult leisure behavior
Some terms ill defined
(leisure lifestyle)
Focuses on leisure
instead of therapy
Too broad




More empirical
research is needed
Widely debated
Problems with
conceptual/theory
Recreation participation
is not reimbursable
service
Concerns (Cont.)



Recreation participation
as role of CTRS
Lack of attention to
health & independent
functioning outside of
leisure
Programs designed for
1 outcome


Linear
conceptualization
Not in concert with
current health cares’
focus on functional
outcomes
Is Therapeutic Recreation a
means to an end or an end in
itself?
Means means…




Instrumental
Tool to produce some other outcome (eg. Improve
health, decrease depression)
Recreation as an agent (means) of change
Means is anything that contributes to the attainment
of an end. It receives it value in proportions to its
utility for yielding an end. A means, therefore, is
subordinate to an end and has no value unless
directed toward one.
Means (Cont.)


Means orientation indicates change or
improvement of functional behaviors as the
desired end.
Draws from a medical, psychiatric,
psychological and human development body
of knowledge
End means…



Intrinsic
Leisure or recreation is the outcome that TR
services aim to produce
End is anything that is valuable in its own
right and is done for its own sake. An end is
good for its own sake
Ends (Cont.)



Implies that the ultimate outcome is related to
leisure behavior
Draws on the body of knowledge related to
leisure
Some models regard leisure as both a means
& an end

Both a tool and a product of TR services
Can TR be both at the same
time?

Does the Leisure Ability Model emphasize one over
the other? Which? How?
