Dear Recreational Therapist -

Do you use trivia in therapy?

Trivia can be helpful for memory recall, social interaction (when used in groups) that promote discussions, and even helpful when used on a team with a speech therapist.

I have three TRivia questions for the Recreational Therapist.

Q. Who was the first person to break the sound barrier?
A. Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947.

Q. Who was the first person on the Moon?

Always have backup plans.

Hey there,

It’s your friend, Danny P.

My tip of the day is: Always have backup plans.

I had pre-assigned someone to do a certain task/ job for me today.

This person had several weeks to prepare for it.

I could tell from observation that this individual was not taking the task seriously.

He didn’t do anything during the preparation time. In fact, I even once caught this individual putting his head down and resting.

So, I knew the job didn’t get done.

Most of the time, I have quick, easy-to-implement interventions that I can facilitate based on memory. (That is one backup plan). I also knew I had a little extra time before this session, so, I did prepare the project.

As I expected, the individual was not prepared today. He asked for more time.

I went ahead and implemented the project that I had prepared today.

What does this have to do with you and Continuing Education?

Do you still have time to prepare and obtain the credits that you need?

I suggest getting a few more than minimum needed. Go the extra mile to be on the safe side.

That appears to be a double advantage, more knowledge, and less sweat about it.

As always, DannyPettry.Com is a great backup plan for those of you who may have waited a little too long.

But you there, reading this email. I feel confident that you’re doing the right thing.

Hope you’ll consider taking one of my self-study CEU course as an additional backup.
