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.

OT Month is April, What about RT Month?

I just read that April is Occupational Therapy Month. It reminded me that I had suggested that Canada and the U.S. join together to hold an RT Week or RT Month sometime during the academic year -- perhaps February (I believe February is when Canada holds its celebration.).

Following my suggestion there was a great deal of discussion on the ATRAnet with lots of good ideas about how we should proceed with an RT Week or RT Month. It sticks in my mind that ATRA was to conduct a survey of our membership to obtain input.

But I can't recall seeing any follow-up. Did I miss something?
