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.

Info on ATRA Definition from President-Elect

I just received an email from Missy Beyerlin-Armstrong, ATRA president-elect....who will become president in a few days at the ATRA Annual Conference in Minneapolis. Missy informed me that the definition mentioned in the post earlier today was approved by the ATRA Board on 10-29-07.

The definition evidentially grew out of a Task Force of ATRA/NTRS/NCTRC that developed language used in state credentialing processes.

I don't know why it took me so long to recognize ATRA had adopted a new definition but I am glad to know when and how it came about. Thanks, Missy! And I know all will wish Missy the best as she enters into her year as ATRA president.
