About this course

Connect a wanted activity with its actual movement demands and the person’s chosen purpose.

Designed for recreational therapists and community-based support professionals. Adapt examples to your actual role, preparation, and setting.

What you will learn

  • Distinguish physical activity from exercise and consider relative intensity.
  • Analyze movement pattern, active time, coordination, sensory demands, environment, and support.
  • Choose a fitting adaptation and recognize when a question needs another qualified professional.

Put the learning to work

Use the Movement Activity Analysis to compare a community activity with a person-defined movement purpose.

Course format and time

8 short captioned video lessons, complementary reading, on-page practice, a ten-question knowledge check, and an optional course evaluation. Plan about 60 minutes for the full learning experience, including practice and the quiz. This is a planning estimate; completion time varies.

All practice is on the lesson pages. You may keep your own notes using fictional or general examples without identifying client information.
