Therapeutic & Inclusive Recreation Services

To provide life enhancing experiences for people of all abilities to recreate, belong and thrive.

Therapeutic & Inclusive Recreation Services (TIRS) provides therapeutic recreation services for individuals who have disabilities that focus on abilities, rather than disabilities and encourage people to attain their highest level of independent leisure functioning by increasing leisure skills, improving social and communication skills, increasing independent living skills and increasing their awareness of and involvement in community recreational activities. TIRS staff advocate for and ensure inclusive opportunities in all program services, and act as advocates for individuals with disabilities by promoting accessibility at all Department parks, facilities, programs, special events and classes.
