A Longstanding Resource for the Profession
The RT/TR Directory was first created in 1995 as one of the earliest online resources dedicated to Therapeutic Recreation and Recreational Therapy. For nearly three decades, it has remained a trusted, independent hub for students, professionals, educators, and anyone interested in the field.
Our Purpose
This directory was developed for those wanting to learn more about Recreational Therapy / Therapeutic Recreation (RT/TR). It provides access to:
- Educational programs
- Professional associations
- Licensure and certification requirements
- Jobs and CEU opportunities
- Activity and treatment ideas
- Resources to support practice and growth
Independent and Inclusive
While the RT/TR Directory shares information about professional associations and organizations, it is not formally affiliated with them. Instead, it serves as an independent resource.
Over the years, the directory has welcomed contributions and interest from a wide variety of professionals, including:
- Recreational Therapists and Therapeutic Recreation Specialists
- Nursing home activity directors
- Creative arts and experiential therapy providers
- Physical educators for special populations
- Music therapists, equestrian therapists, and related fields
- Students, educators, and individuals seeking information
Owned and Operated by Rec Therapy Today
Today, the RT/TR Directory is owned and operated by Rec Therapy Today, a leading provider of continuing education programs for recreational therapists.
Rec Therapy Today is proud to maintain and expand the directory so the profession continues to have a reliable, centralized resource for information and connection.
Our Commitment
From its beginnings in 1995 to its home with Rec Therapy Today today, the RT/TR Directory remains committed to supporting the growth of recreational therapy by providing accessible, accurate, and useful information to professionals, students, and the community.
