This article chronicles the adjustments in these original standards. Accreditation criteria are at the heart of defining entry-level professional competencies in the profession of therapeutic recreation while also being used as quality indicators of academic programs. Therapeutic recreation was the first specialization recognized by the Council on Accreditation of Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Related Professions [(COAPRT) formerly COA] during the 1970s. In the 1980s and 1990s, while undergoing enhancements and expansion, controversy arose over the relevance of recreation-based criteria and the ability of the standards to bring consistency to professional preparation. Subsequently, during the first decade of the 21st century, researchers and conference attendees explored alternative accreditation programs. The latest revision in the COAPRT program reflects the scope of therapeutic recreation practice and presents learner outcomes, an expectation of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Guidelines for programs to develop relevant student outcomes are outlined as indicators of quality. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
