Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

* Jo Lewis has an interesting article on sensory stimulation for older adults with cognitive impairments.

*There is a story on the project, lead by Ray West, to update ATRA's Guidelines for Competency Assessment and Curriculum Planning.

*There are news items including Marjorie Malkin making presentations in Ireland and Heewon Yang giving talks in Taiwan and Korea. Both Marjorie and Heewon are RT
