Today was a full day at the NJ/ Eastern PA Therapeutic Recreation Association conference. A huge congratulations to Ann Dolloff on receiving the Service Award, and to Recreational Therapy Alum, Bowen Chen on receiving the Innovation Award for his work at Inglis House! Ann, Gretchen, Gena, and Aurora presented, and Heather represented the program at the vendor booth. It was great to see everyone!

Ann Dolloff organized adaptive/inclusive Paddle Boarding training for Temple University's recreational Therapy & students.

HUGE thank you to Bruckner Chase whose passions for advocacy and sport are great models for how we should approach our work. Opportunities like this reinforce our understanding that recreational activities must be accessible to everyone, and we, as health care providers, have a responsibility to be the advocates and facilitators to ensure these activities are available.

Another HUGE thank you to the students who registered, and showed up, for this event - Bruckner said it was one of the most involved groups of students he has worked with - way to go!
