In the Leisure Ability Model, what is the purpose of functional intervention services?

Provide co-treatment with other therapies
Acquaint clients with community services
Bring clients up to peers' average functional level
Increase physical capabilities

The correct answer is: Bring clients up to peers' average functional level

In the Leisure Ability Model, the fundamental aim of functional intervention services is to enhance clients' abilities to reach or match the average functional levels of their peers. This approach is grounded in improving specific skills that may be hindered due to physical, emotional, or social barriers. By striving to elevate a client's functional level, these services foster greater independence and enhance the overall quality of life, enabling individuals to engage in leisure activities alongside peers effectively. This focus on helping clients achieve functional equivalence to their peers creates a foundation for increased participation in leisure pursuits and promotes social interaction, thereby reinforcing social networks and support systems essential for overall well-being. The goal is not just to improve individual capabilities but also to ensure that clients can enjoy leisure activities in similar ways to their peers, facilitating integration and community involvement.
