FAR Therapeutic Arts and Recreation

FAR Therapeutic Arts and Recreation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization providing creative arts therapies to over 1,600 individuals with disabilities. Founded in 1951, we work with clients of all ages, introducing them to new activities and experiences, helping them gain a deeper understanding of themselves and showing them new ways to communicate how they feel.

Through the dedication of our highly-trained staff and the support of partners and collaborating organizations throughout Metro Detroit, we offer music, art, dance/movement and recreational therapy for children and adults with a variety of diagnoses. We go into schools in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties to provide music, art, dance/movement and recreational therapy for students receiving special education services. We work to expose our clients to new avenues of expression which serve to improve how they relate and interact with their environments and families.

Enriching the lives of individuals with disabilities, regardless of age, through the power of creative arts and recreational therapies
