Recreation / Rec Therapy Division  

The Ohio Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance includes different divisions which have been developed to promote disciplinary and interdisciplinary learning in the core disciplines represented by members of the Association. The Divisions will promote professional development programs and workshops for their specific membership throughout the year. In addition, the divisions are responsible for encouraging presentations at the Annual Convention within each specific discipline. The recreation division will host a Therapeutic Recreation track at the annual conference as a CEU opportunity for Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist or other professions interested in Recreational Therapy interventions.

Each division and its chair shall also serve as state-wide advocates for curriculum, public policy, and policies which affect the disciplines represented by its membership.
