International Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners Announces Contest for Activity Professionals and Recreation Therapists

July 2^nd 2020

For the past several months, we have been following your blogs, twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn groups, and reading the inspiring ways that Activity Professionals and Recreation Therapist have found creative ways to provide room visits and activities for social distancing.

 We have witnessed the amazing and often times emotional messages and photos you have posted to each other and we are all forever changed. One activity that has caught our eye are the unique carts. They are often colorful, themed, seasonal, powerful, uplifting, joyful and often times funny. We want to capture your ideas and award your commitment to continuously provide fulfilling days for your residents and customers. You will be judged on originality and success-oriented cart. We don’t especially like the word Cart, so feel free to use another word to describe your room visit mobile activity.
