The curriculum also covers techniques to encourage participation and social interaction, as well as ways activities can help maintain or improve residents’ functional abilities. In addition, participants will build essential skills in organizing schedules, coordinating supplies, ensuring safety during activities, and communicating effectively with staff, residents, and families. Leadership and organizational strategies specific to activity programming are also emphasized.
