Leisure Independence for Everyone
Breaking down barriers to build up leisure opportunities
Did you know a Certifed Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) can
offer 1:1 leisure counseling and coaching sessions just like an occupational
therapist, personal trainer, swim or yoga instructor may offer in their area
of expertise?
What is leisure counseling? It is helping individuals with disabilities develop a positive
leisure lifestyle. This is done through leisure appreciation, self-awareness, decision-
making, self-determination, leisure activity, community & social skills, leisure resources.
The ultimate goal is for an individual to engage in leisure as independently as possible.
How is it done? Arlington County CTRS staff determines an individuals recreational
needs using valid and reliable assessment tools then will design a program to build skills
based on the need and personal goals of the individual. Specifc outcomes may include
identifying leisure interests, money handling, practicing and improving appropriate
social interactions, learning a specifc leisure pursuit, etc. L.I.F.E. is meant to increase
participants leisure skills and provide information and support to pursue those
opportunities.
Who is it for? This is open to individuals, ages 13-adult, who have a disability
and motivated to actively participate in community recreation with reasonable
accommodations.
Offered at discounted rate of $45/hour for minimum of fve sessions plus one hour intake
assessment.
Please call 703-228-4736 or email arosenthal@arlingtonva.us. We will perform a phone
screening with you to determine goals and discuss fees.
Tell Arlingtons Story is a community building initiative that
highlights our shared identity as Arlingtonians. Through fun and
entertaining settings, we record stories to Tell Arlingtons Story
and to deepen our understanding of our neighbors and the
different cultures that make Arlington a special place to live.

Signing Smart Beginner
Signing Smart strategies integrate more than
150 American Sign Language signs into songs,
games and activities developed to engage very
young children and their parents. Research
has shown that using American Sign Language
with hearing babies and toddlers allows
communication and spoken language to happen
earlier and faster, while reducing frustration
and tantrums. Most children have two to three
words by 12 months, whereas Signing Smart
TM children typically have 25 signs and 16
words! Most children start combining words
into two-word sentences by 20 months, whereas
Signing Smartchildren typically do this by
11-14 months and some as early as six months!
The National Institute of Health even found a
12-point IQ increase for eight year-olds who used
signs as young children. More research, class
pictures and family quotes at www.ParentChildU.
com. Home materials include Signing Smart
for Early Communication: Beginner Handbook,

Principles of Positive Discipline I
Parents and grandparents come and learn the
revolutionary discipline techniques of Dr. Becky
Bailey, Ph.D. Gain a deeper understanding
of how children develop in order to foster
self-esteem (both yours and theirs) by looking
for solutions instead of blame. Find out how to
give effective commands so children are more
likely to choose to do what you say and guide
children away from tattling and into problem
solving. Learn to recognize the two ways that
children communicate to adults and the most
effective responses that elicit cooperation
and stop the Do what I say, not what I do
syndrome once and for all. These are just a few
ways you will learn to deal in a positive way
with young children! This class is facilitated by
an experienced elementary school counselor,
parent educator and founder of www.
ParentChildU.com. Educational certifcates will
be given. Fairlington Center. Inst.: Kretzer
