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.

Why ARTA Rather Than ATRA

I've thought through my personal position on the ATRA name change to ARTA. I've decided that my position is simple. Recreational therapy is a term people understand. People never have been able to relate to the term therapeutic recreation. All philosophy asside, I think ARTA will serve the profession much better than ATRA has.
