About this study

A mixed methods design was used to explore the outcomes of a 6-week, occupational therapy-led Refreshing Recess program designed to build capacity of recess supervisors to create a positive mealtime environment so that all students can successfully participate in and enjoy recess and socialization with peers. Occupational therapy practitioners provide weekly information and coaching to recess supervisors and embed weekly activities into the recess experience (e.g. team building games, strategies for including students with disabilities, etc.).
