About NCTRC
NCTRC is a charter member
of the National
Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA). In 1993, NCTRC's
certification program was accredited by NOCA's National Commission
for Certifying Agencies. NCTRC certification program parallels
the standards followed in medicine by the American Board of
Medical Specialties and by other related professions such as
the National Board for the Certification of Occupational Therapy
Board and the Certification Board for Music Therapists.
NCTRC establishes evaluative
standards for the certification and recertification of professionals;
grants certification to individuals who voluntarily apply and
meet established criteria, and monitors adherence to these standards
by certified therapeutic recreation professionals.
NCTRC's Board of Directors
is elected by actively certified professionals. The Board is
comprised of nine voting members and includes a consumer and
an employer representative. Since the mission of the Council
is to protect the consumer, it is critical that the consumer
and employer have input into NCTRC's credentialing program.
