There are many different aspects of recreation therapy, and each has its purpose. The interviewer wants to see your critical thinking and creative side and why you choose animals, aquatics, or drama in your recreational therapies. Describe why you decided between the three and what population(s) that type of therapy would best serve.

"I love using all three choices in my therapy, but if I had to choose one, I would pick animals. I have found that using animals in my recreation therapy works for the majority of the population. Animals can sense when someone is sad or ill and needs compassion, and my patients respond quite well to animal therapy. I think it is hard for anyone to turn down a cute little dog, rabbit, or baby goat."
