Therapeutic Recreation Services (TR) provides opportunities for children and adults with disabilities to develop the skills that enable them to participate in the recreation and leisure programs of their choice.

TR works in conjunction/tandem with regional services to ensure that we are creating a culture of inclusion within our centers. We work alongside of NCS Culture, Recreation, and Community Connections staff and the inclusion specialist to provide services and programs for individuals of all abilities, allowing and promoting access to the sensory space at Sully to all participants.

We provide a person-centered, safe, and nurturing environment designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals of all ages – and particularly those with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities – through structured interaction and engagement with the room’s unique features. Sensory rooms, by nature, are relaxing and calming environments that offer a variety of sights, sounds and interactive elements that promote stress-free engagement and physical and intellectual development – especially for young children and individuals with disabilities. A vibrant combination of lights, sounds, textures, touch pads, swings and much more offer a variety of opportunities to explore while experiencing physical and intellectual benefits including: improved communication and social skills; enhanced concentration, focus, and memory; reduced stress; and promotion of leisure education. 

The Jim Scott Community Center Sensory Room is located on the second floor of our center. The Sensory Room offers a full slate of weekly programs including one-on-one sessions, group sessions and special themed programs for a variety of ages and abilities. All programs are led and/or supervised by full-time Inclusion Coordinator, who is a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, as well as part-time staff trained in how to utilize the room. All programs and sessions are scheduled through the Inclusion Coordinator. To make an appointment and to inquire more about this space, please contact the Jim Scott Community Center at 703-865-0520.
