activity. The instructor should make the environment positive and remove any
background noises that are not necessary for the activity. The participant should be given
any extra time they need and offered assistance upon request. If an individual has a
hearing aid or any assistive devices they are encouraged to use them.

therapy can release a participant from pain by using the diversionary tactic, taking ones
mind off the pain. It also releases endorphins in the brain that make an individual feel
good (Steven Hefferon). Those who suffer chronic pain suffer anxiety, depression,
sadness, and insanity within themselves. This activity can benefit them by getting their
mind off the idea of their pain and getting them to laugh with others. Making a
comfortable and positive environment is necessary for these participants. Especially a
comfortable environment, these participants should be sitting in a cushioned chair with
back support. These participants shouldnt be sitting on the floor with their back hunched
over. Any assistance they need should be given.
