Apparently No ARTA for Now

Recent communications with national leaders have lead me to the conclusion that changing the name of ATRA to ARTA is not currently a priority item. It still seems to me that the majority of practitioners favor the change -- since they consider themselves to be recreational therapists and they provide clients with treatment and rehabilitation. Perhaps they will raise their collective voices to bring about a name change. We'll see. I must confess to being a bit frustrated with the lack of movement on key issues like the ARTA name change and RT curriculum standards.
