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.

ABLEDATA from NIDRR & OSERS

ABLEDATA would seem to be a good resource for RTs. ABLEDATA provides information about assistive technology products and rehabilitation equipment for people with mobility impairments and those who are deaf or blind or have low vision. These products can assist people with disabilities in many areas of life, including recreational and sports activities, with everything from camera mounts for wheelchairs to adjustable basketball backstops. ABLEDATA does not sell any products; rather, it helps people locate companies that do.

ABLEDATA is sponsored by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), part of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) of the U.S. Department of Education.
