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.

NCTRC Topics via ATRA Webinar Series

Here is an announcement that I am passing along: NCTRC will be presenting various topics that may interest you through the ATRA Webinar Series C - Professional Issues

Session C1: State Licensure: Towards a Sustainable Future for Therapeutic Recreation
TR is at the crossroads of professional development. While many of the significant benchmarks for professional growth are well established, one area of neglect has been state legal recognition (licensure). This session will address the critical need for the establishment of state licensure for the practice of recreation therapy. It will provide an overview of the relationship between state licensure and national certification (NCTRC) and how these two credentialing processes can work effectively in unison. A review of the strategic steps necessary for the successful establishment of state licensure will be presented. In addition, a review of successful state licensure programs will be provided to help identify critical issues that exist within the state licensure procurement process.
