Will Rep. Giffords have Recreational Therapy in Rehab?

Physicians gave updates U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords progress. They feel that she is great rehabilitation potential. I’m really glad to hear about her progress. I admire survivors.
She’ll be transferred to TIRR Memorial Hermann (Rehabilitation Center) when she is ready for rehabilitation.

As a Recreational Therapist, this raises the big question for me:

Will Giffords have Recreational Therapy services at this rehabilitation center?

Their web-site didn't show any matches when I did a search for "Recreational Therapy" and for "Therapeutic Recreation."

Their web-site shows success stories. I’ve not had time to read all of them yet, however, the pictures show people with recreation activities: pets, painting, with other people (social), with animals (horses), football, with activities (kites).

Lexie’s story, “Don’t give up” really caught my attention.

I plan to read all of these success stories!
