Complement your RT Competence! Results and Implications from the ATRA Delphi and Competency Study
Session Description (for use in the program and for marketing purposes)
How competent are you as a recreational therapist? How competent are we as a profession? Come to this session to learn about the results and implications of the ATRA Delphi and Competencies Study. You may have been a participant in the study! This study was a comprehensive, two-part, multi-year study and the first to explore current RT practice at a micro-competency level. This session will present findings related to specific diagnostic populations served; interventions/modalities, techniques, standardized assessment tools, and theories utilized; education, training, and counseling topics in treatment; and on-the-horizon treatment and issues. You will discover areas of practice that RT has high competence, moderate competence, and low competence. The session will discuss how the profession can harness our practice strengths and bolster areas that need improvement.
