Hey Chicken Soup for the Soul -- You claim there are not enough recreational therapists to create a book and that your company would need a large audience with millions of potential readers in order to make the very large financial investment required. The truth is – Recreational Therapy stories inspire and they do reach millions of people. Here are some world-famous examples of Recreational Therapy that got readers: · Bethany Hamilton (Soul Surfer) had lost her arm in a shark attack. She had rec therapy to help her regain life skills. Plus - She is known to volunteer with Access Surf, an organization provided by Recreational Therapists to help people.

He attributes his recreational therapist for teaching him how to use prosthetics and to get back out to daily functioning like driving a car, and eventually by to climbing.

Recreational Therapist provide amazing services and their stories need to be told. I think Chicken Soup should reconsider and give a book on Recreational Therapy a chance. your friend, Danny.
