Which assessment should a CTRS use to evaluate social interaction skills?

  1. Leisure Diagnostic Battery (LDB)

  2. Leisurescope

  3. BANDI-RT

  4. Comprehensive Evaluation in Recreational Therapy Scale (CERT)- Psych

The correct answer is: Comprehensive Evaluation in Recreational Therapy Scale (CERT)- Psych

The Comprehensive Evaluation in Recreational Therapy Scale (CERT)-Psych is specifically designed to assess various skills related to social interaction, emotional functioning, and cognitive abilities. This tool provides a comprehensive approach to understanding an individual's social interaction skills within recreational contexts. It can evaluate how well a person interacts with others, communicates, and engages in group activities, making it particularly useful for identifying areas where therapeutic intervention may be beneficial. The other assessment tools mentioned, while valuable for different aspects of recreational therapy, do not focus as directly on social interaction skills. The Leisure Diagnostic Battery (LDB), for example, is more centered on an individual's leisure interests and needs rather than their interaction capabilities. Leisurescope assesses leisure preferences and patterns, and BANDI-RT evaluates behavioral and social skills but with a broader focus that includes but is not limited to social interaction. Hence, CERT-Psych is the most appropriate choice for evaluating social interaction skills in a recreational therapy context.
