Evidence- and theory-based practice continue to become increasingly important to the sustainability, justification, and improvement of recreational therapy services. ATRA’s Research Institute wants to ensure that recreational therapy practitioners, students, and academicians have an opportunity to share their research, while also learning from colleagues’ work, to further advance our profession and the quality of services provided to clients. The purpose of this session is to provide an overview of how recreational therapy professionals and students can contribute to the Research Institute by submitting their work for presentation at conference, or by serving as a reviewer.
