Hello, my name is Leanne Murrillo. I have worked at Ability360 for the past 19 years as a Recreational Therapist and Youth Transition Coordinator. I am a Recreation Therapist who provides treatment services and recreation activities to individuals with disabilities. Recreational therapists use a variety of techniques, including arts and crafts, sports, games, dance and movement, drama, music. The Ability360 Socialization through Recreation program offers opportunities to meet new people, develop interpersonal skills, gain self-confidence, reduce stress, improve social or communication skills, and most importantly, to have fun!
