About Me

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.

Oklahoma Passes TR Practice Act

From Professor Jo Ann Coco-Ripp of Winston Salem State University, I received great news about Oklahoma establishing the Therapeutic Recreation Practice Act.

Here, in part, is what Jo Ann sent to me:
"I know that the folks in Oklahoma would not mind my passing along their good news... the Therapeutic Recreation Practice Act was approved by the Governor on 05/29/2009

"Last year this effort did not succeed but they tried again this year; the process started around the end of Jan and finally it passed House, Senate and then the Governor!"

Anyone interested can look at info on SB546 at this site http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/
