>> What I like most is being able to build
a legacy for other recreation therapist,
particularly the younger recreation therapist.
I'm old enough now that there are two
generations of recreation therapists behind me
and I would like to be able that person that can
build a legacy for other recreation therapists
that might want to consider the possibility
of providing therapeutic recreation services
in the community in vivo where
people actually live as oppose
to where most recreation therapist practice
and that's in a brick and mortar setting.
There's nothing wrong with that but you
lose out on a lot of sociological lessons
by working just in a brick and mortar setting.
As I did for over 20 years I worked
as a recreation therapist in a brick
and mortar setting for over 20 years, enjoyed
it, but did not know about the other side
of life for individuals with disabilities.
And that opportunity of being able to go out
and provide services to people, how they live,
where they live, is probably
the favorite part of my job.
