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.

CTRA Issues Call for Presentations

The Canadian Therapeutic Recreation Association (CTRA) recently announced a call for presentations for the 2011 CTRA Conference to be held May 25-27 at Whistler, BC. The announcment follows.

The British Columbia Therapeutic Recreation Association (BCTRA) and the Canadian Therapeutic Recreation Association (CTRA) are proud to host the 15th Annual CTRA Conference. This conference will provide the power to excite and re-ignite your TR passion. Please join us this spring at the Four Seasons in Whistler!

CONFERENCE THEME: “POWER IN PROCESS”
Give credit to the process. Whether it’s the process of planning interventions, gathering evidence through research, exchanging ideas, or forming a professional college, each process holds significant power. There is power in the process of assessment, research, multidisciplinary team approaches, diversity sensitivity, documentation, certification, advocacy, evaluation, standards of practice, and many other TR practices. Please help us share this power with professionals across the nation.

The 2011 Conference Committee invites students, educators, therapists, and allied health professionals to submit presentation proposals relevant to evidenced based best practices; innovative programs, assessment; facilitation techniques, treatment interventions; management issues, theories/models; research; and other strategies that advance and develop the practice of the therapeutic recreation profession relating to our theme. Multidisciplinary team and other collaborative approaches for presentations are encouraged.

NOTE: Presenters are responsible for their own meals, accommodation, transportation, CEU fees, registration (at a reduced speaker rate), and a minimum of 50 handouts.

Email submissions by midnight Friday, November 5th, 2010
