FAR Therapeutic Arts and Recreation

FAR Therapeutic Arts and Recreation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization providing a space for folks with special needs to enrich their lives. 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 special needs diagnoses. 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.

FAR’s mission is to promote understanding and provide education for children and adults with special needs through therapeutic opportunities. Thanks to decades of support from our community, we are able every day to show our clients they have the power and ability to live the lives they want to live.
