MORE TO EXPLORE...
ATRA is the only national membership organization representing the interests and needs of recreational therapists. We support recreational therapists in many ways.
ATRA works hard to make sure recreational therapy has a seat at the table. Your support allows us to have a presence on Capitol Hill. We are the folks raising our hands and making sure lawmakers and other influential organizations see and hear us.
We provide learning opportunities that help you grow professionally and maintain your certification.
The quality of our online learning programs are top-notch. Our program is not just about getting CEUs, it's a well thought out program to help you be better at your job.
Our Annual Conference is the largest gathering of recreational therapists in the country and attracts recreational therapists from nearly every state and we have a significant international presence.
We have communities set up for a variety of workplace settings(older adults, schools, communities...) where you can access resources, ask questions and connect with other recreational therapists who work in your same workplace setting.
Being a member of a national organization gives you opportunities to gain leadership experience. By becoming involved on a committee or with a section, you can gain experience that can help your career.
ATRA's Mission is to empower the more than 10,000 recreational therapists that connect through ATRA as members or recipients of ATRA services and resources.
