Most Recreation
Therapists (including myself) are board certified nationally, something you may
not be aware of is that in New York State, Recreation Therapists are not yet
licensed professionals. Doctors, nurses, teachers, hairdressers, and even
tattoo artists are, but Recreation Therapists are not. As a professional
committed to seeing growth and advancement in my career, it is important to me
for licensure to pass in both the Senate and Assembly. Below is a link for a
petition to get the licensure bill passed by our elected officials in Albany.
Please join me in signing this.
This bill regarding
licensure for Recreation Therapists in New York State reads: "Means a
treatment service designed to restore, remediate, and rehabilitate a person's
level of functioning and independence in life activities, to promote health and
wellness as well as reduce or eliminate the activity limitations and
restrictions to participate in life situations caused by an illness or
disabling condition."
Will you sign this
petition?
