Session Description

This session serves as part one of the ‘What Makes a Legend’ series, offering the history and legacy of our profession– not just the history you have read in a textbook but the stories of the leaders who have shaped and transformed the TR profession. In this session, we will present results from a survey of TR/RT professionals and educators about how they define a “legend” in the field and accomplishments they deem significant. Working from data, participants will share their opinions on what constitutes a legend and on who they think has achieved this status. Participants will work together to draft specific questions they'd like to ask the legends within our field. These questions will later be used in the follow up session, ‘What makes a legend? Part II: Legendary Stories in the Field of Therapeutic Recreation’.

Learning Outcomes

1. Identify at least one significant individual within the history of Therapeutic Recreation.
2. Identify at least three traits of a “TR legend” as determined by their colleagues in the field.
3. Identify at least one significant contribution of a TR legend.
