Thank you very much for considering this reform. Art therapists are increasingly subjected to parallel demands similar to LPC (and LCPC or LSW) in regards to program management, staff training, and student/intern development. As we increase in responsibility, unfortunately, our status within our professional communities remains the same. This reform will honor the work we do, enable qualified professionals to legitimately take on increasingly more challenging roles with the backing of professional regulation.
